This is a pair of wall shelves, Model 112B designed in 1936 by Aino and Alvar Aalto for Artek. This is an early and important pair, and is rarely seen in the American marketplace. The shelves are formed with bent birch brackets, which can be placed both below and above the panel, serving as bookends.The top surface of the shelves is birch veneer. The listed price includes 2 shelves as shown. Each shelf measures 35 inches in width, 10.6 inches in length, and 9.6 inches in tall. The pieces remain original and the birch has taken on a warm glow from time and use. Please see photos. The buyer may pick up the furniture, have it shipped by our shipping partners (buyer will pay for full shipping cost, though will not have to arrange it), or discuss potential delivery within reason following the end of the auction. The listed shipping cost is an estimate, though we can likely stay below that number for most areas of the country. If you win the item, we can discuss shipping options, prices, etc. and we will make sure that it is as inexpensive for you as possible. We work with a shipper locally who takes great care in their work and has been complemented often on their packing and shipping quality.
