Entertain With Modern Antiquarian This Thanksgiving

Posted by Frances Bell

Hi Hi!

The penguins and the Modern Antiquarian team are ready to don our finest 'fits and get on board with holiday merriment! Everyone loves a good bar cart, and this one is exceptional. This Mid Century Modern bar cart has a lift-out tray for carrying drinks over to your guests, a three-bottle wine rack, and ample space below for liquor, mixers, garnishes, and, of course, Jell-O shots. We added an antique brass mortar and pestle to bring some oomph to your muddled drinks, and we love using old Murano glass bowls as little cocktail garnish trays. We invited the penguins along for fun because why not?

Hope you all have a very happy Thanksgiving!
