1903 Industrial Cart Restored and Made Into a Coffee Table

by Vintage Headboards

Based on the research we had done we were able to determine that this industrial cart was made between 1903 and 1905. Originally used to move heavy items around a warehouse this piece was restored and refinished into a one of a kind coffee table.
The wheels were stripped down then sprayed a satin black. The hardware was all drilled out to accommodate new lag screws to replace the rusty bolts. We then planed the 2" x 6" white oak base and re-assembled it. The broken top was replaced with solid 1" x 12" oak. All of the oak was stained a dark walnut then sealed with a number of cotes of satin polycrylic.
The top measures approximately 30" x 60".
There are companies that are selling reproduction industrial carts for $1700 - $1900. We are offering this piece for $950 plus shipping or is available for local pickup.
Please give us your feedback. Thank you.

Good evening @Linda - this particular restoration was not a replica. We restored the original hardware and re-assembled the cart adding a new solid oak top. Everything else was original hardware.
