Mid Century Teak Bar Cart / Serving Trolley ‘The Glyder’ by Paragon Furniture, c.1960s

A stunning and original mid-century modern example of ‘The Glyder’ bar cart, produced by Paragon Furniture (E.D. & S., London) in the early 1960s. Crafted with a solid teak frame, this beautifully designed serving trolley features a removable teak-faced bent plywood tray, showcasing a rich and expressive grain typical of quality British mid-century design.

 

Elegant curved uprights, tapered legs, and original castors give the piece a light, sculptural feel, while the lower shelf provides practical storage for bottles, glassware, or bar accessories. The original maker’s label remains intact on the reverse of the removable top tray, adding excellent provenance and collectability.

 

A highly functional and visually striking piece, ideal as a bar cart, drinks trolley, or stylish side table in a mid-century, modernist, or eclectic interior.
