Artek Alvar Aalto Cart 900 in Birch with Rattan and Tile
The tea trolley was inspired by British tea culture, which Aino and Alvar Aalto had become acquainted with though their many travels, as well as by the Japanese woodwork and architecture they admired. The striking Tea Trolley 900, which features ceramic tiles and a rattan basket, was first launched internationally at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1937, a traditionally functionalist piece of furniture embellished with pared down multicultural references. Versatile and full of character, Tea Trolley 900 is the perfect centrepiece for enjoying anything from breakfast to high tea or cocktails.
In good vintage condition.
Dimensions: 35.4" w | 25.6" d | 23.6" h
Local Delivery:
Most local deliveries within the East Bay and San Francisco can be arranged between $79–$200 and are typically completed within a few days. This rate doesn’t apply to all items and does not cover areas like San Jose, Santa Rosa, Napa Area, or Sacramento, which may incur higher fees. White glove service or specific situation are not applied with that pricing. If you're unsure, please reach out before purchasing.
Los Angeles Delivery: Twice a month, we travel to Los Angeles and can offer delivery for a flat rate of $199. This service applies to locations near Downtown Los Angeles and Santa Monica only. For customers who prefer to pick up, we can bring your order to a Downtown LA meeting point for $99, with pickup arranged by the customer. Please contact us in advance to confirm availability and exact logistics.
Shipping (Outside the Bay Area):
Effective immediately, we are no longer offering shipping services outside of the Bay Area. Due to several unfortunate incidents beyond our control, we have incurred significant losses and customer service issues related to third-party freight carriers handling large furniture.
For all out-of-area orders, shipping must now be arranged directly by the customer through a carrier of their choice, such as U-Ship. Full payment must be completed by wire transfer before any item is released for pickup. The customer is fully responsible for coordinating pickup, packing, shipping, and insurance.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. This decision was not made lightly, but several issues and financial losses have made it necessary in order for us to continue operating responsibly and fairly.
