"Drexel Furniture Co.", "Exponent" Bar Cart




When the Exponent Collection was introduced by Drexel in the sixties, it was advertised as "The "Now" look for the fashion conscious person of today."  This bar/ serving cart was likely designed by Kipp Stewart, and if not designed by him personally, heavily influenced by his designs for Drexel.  The cart has a tambour cover which opens to two serving shelves.  The top shelf flips open to a storage compartment for bottles.  Below the lower shelf is a drawer for accessories.  There is an additional shelf of black glass on the base.  The cart has ball casters with  brass covers, and brass handles on the sides.  34" l., 18" w., 38" h.  American, c. 1960's  SOLD
