Brutalist Wall Mounted “Disc” Bar by Adrian Pearsall for Craft Associates
$16,000.00Brutalist wall-mounted disc bar designed by Adrian Pearsall for Craft Associates inspired by the PE-122 bar designed by Paul Evans (ca. 1970s, USA).
Bar features two doors of sculpted resin over wood concealing a cabinet with two adjustable/removable shelves and a polished chrome sheet metal backing (appearing as a mirrored back). Luxurious, striking conversation piece with rich bronze and gold tones and intriguing incorporation of abstract shapes, linear patterns, and dense textures.
There is a back lip running the length of the cabinet itself that can be mounted to a wall-mounted ledger board. We have custom cut a ledger board, which can be included with the cabinet upon request.
Very good, conservatively restored condition with only light wear remaining: there are a couple of streaks to the original paint on one side of the cabinet itself along with a bend to one side of the chrome sheet metal backing, as shown.
From the collection of a prominent New York City architect.

Early Oak Folding Grocery / Shopping Cart
$850.00Charming oak collapsible shopping cart on caster wheels (ca. late 1930s/early 1940s, USA).
This early version, inspired by a folding chair, was developed by Sylvan Goldman in 1936 as a solution to the cumbersome shopping basket. It not only took up little room when collapsed and stacked, but also accommodated two baskets in two holders on the frame – one above and one below, allowing shoppers to buy more without struggling with carrying a heavy basket.
In a modern context, the uses are unlimited – this cart can be used for holding artist’s supplies/palettes, as a bar/tea/snack table, or a bathroom caddy with the addition of small trays.
