1970s Alvar and Aino Aalto for Artek Tea Trolley in Birch with Ceramic Tile
This is a Tea Trolley 900, originally designed in 1937 by Aino and Alvar Aalto for the World Exhibition in Paris. The trolley features a white ceramic-tiled top, and has an attached rattan basket which makes it perfect for serving. The piece’s frame is made from birch which has been bent, and the top and bottom trays are of form-pressed birch plywood. The wheels are lined with rubber to give it a smooth ride.
This cart measures 25.5 inches long, 35.5 inches wide, and is 23.25 inches tall. This piece does show some wear from previous use, including a cracked tile on the top. Overall, this piece is in good to very good condition. Please see photos.
