This is an original 'Tea Trolley 901’ Serving Cart, designed in 1936 by Aino and Alvar Aalto for Artek. The piece was manufactured in Finland circa 1950s. The strong frame is made from birch which has been bent. The top and bottom trays are of form-pressed birch plywood, and the top has a white ceramic tile surface. The wheels are lined with rubber to give it a smooth ride. This cart measures 19.68 inches long, 35.43 inches wide, and is 22 inches tall. We have not attempted to refinish the wood, and there are some nicks and scuffs. There is a small crack in the tiles and some wear on the bottom, and there are some notches on the rubber gaskets. Overall, this true collector’s item is in good original condition with age apparent. 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.
