Collection
A trolley is a small piece of furniture with an unexpectedly large presence. It rolls quietly into a room yet gathers attention through its charm, its functionality, and the touch of ceremony it brings to daily life. At Retros Gallery, our collection of vintage trolleys celebrates the elegance of movement and the art of hosting.
These bar carts and serving trolleys were once the companions of long dinners, late-night conversations, and beautifully set tables. A brass Italian trolley with smoked glass shelves that once held crystal decanters. A wooden Danish serving cart used to carry coffee, wine, and stories from room to room. A sculptural 1970s model combining chrome, glass, and playful geometry. Each one retains the atmosphere of the homes where it has lived.
Our vintage trolleys come from the great design decades — the 60s, 70s, and early 80s — and highlight the craftsmanship that defined the era. They add movement, functionality, and a touch of ritual to contemporary spaces. In a dining room, they become a refined serving companion. In a living area, they act as a bar, a display unit, or a sculptural accent. In an office or studio, they carry books, art objects, and inspiration.
Unlike mass-produced pieces, vintage trolleys have patina, weight, and intention. Their wheels glide with solidity, their frames were built to last, and their surfaces tell stories through texture and shine.
Call it “just a cart” — and it will prove you wrong. It’s an atmosphere, a gesture of hospitality, and a timeless detail that brings personality into the everyday.
