Aldo Tura lacquered goatskin bar cart
Dimensions: 12-1/4" D x 20"W x 22"H. The top is lacquered goatskin, wood underneath, the fittings are solid brass. It is in good condition - two pictures show some wear, i.e., lacquer has worn away from one area on the top of the table and there is a black smudge on the bottom shelf. Label on the bottom of lower shelf confirms it is from Italy.
I purchased it from a shop here in Boulder. The owner purchased it from an estate sale.
