I am a big fan of mid-century modern and this Paul McCobb serving cart is an excellent example of why these pieces are so collected today. The serving cart is from the Irwin Collection and features a travertine top which I love since it protects the wood from heat or liquids. There are also two small drawers which come in handy as well as three levels upon which to store items. The serving cart is on wheels to provide mobility. Now, this piece is a bit weathered, but there is no reason it could not be cleaned up with some refinishing and touching up.
