Early 20th Century Industrial Wooden Shoe Trolley SR21

An original early 20th century industrial wooden stock trolley, retaining four slatted storage shelves within a robust timber frame. Constructed for everyday commercial use, the trolley displays an honest, utilitarian design with exposed mortise and tenon joinery, substantial timber uprights and diagonal corner bracing, reflecting the practical craftsmanship of the period. The open slatted shelves would have provided a durable and well-ventilated surface for storing and transporting stock throughout a factory, workshop or warehouse. The richly worn timber has developed a wonderful industrial patina through decades of use, with remnants of its original black painted finish still visible across the slatted shelves. Its authentic surface and simple architectural form make it an excellent decorative and functional piece, equally suited to retail interiors, loft spaces or industrial collections. The trolley is fitted with later swivel castors, allowing it to be moved with ease while preserving its original character.
