Hello everyone!
I recently bought this horrid, sticky and shabby mcm trolley bar for 20 Euros. https://imgur.com/gallery/QgxFith
I cleaned it with soap and water and dear, I've never seen so much filth coming off in my life!
Turns out ( there is a sticker under the top tray) it was made by a South African manufacturer named D.S Vorster. Luckily I found online a listing showing the trolley bar in its full glory http://vampfurniture.blogspot.com/2018/08/a-mahogany-mid-century-drinks-trolley.html
It also has interesting caster wheels but I think they were replaced by the previous owner.
Is anyone familiar with this designer/manufacturer?
I will soon start restoring it, wish me luck.

Perhaps he could help you.
A quick search on the net has yielded very little info. I did find a book on decorative art, from 1954/55, showing some of D.S.Vorster's furniture.

Dear @lexi,
Thank you for your kind reply, I sent them an email.
In my turn, the bar is for my personal collection, and I have no commercial interest whatsoever.
