Up for auction is a marvelous walnut drop-leaf tea cart manufactured by the Paalman Furniture Company, Grand Rapids, MI., ca. 1920-30's. Paalman was an early premier maker of quality tea wagons and the company was also known for their patented trademark "drop handle" (May 28, 1918.) This particular cart is somewhat unusual in that it features a large lower utensil/linen drawer (22"x 12" x 3 1/2" deep) and a shallow rim borders 3 sides of the lower shelf. I particulary like the angled shape of the drop leaves and the shapely contour of the 4 support legs. The leaves are maintained perfectly erect by an inconspicuous straight pull-out wood bar on each side. The framed and wood handled glass tray top sits securely on the table - a couple of light scratches to the original glass. The original condition and appearance is simply beautiful , but as with all vintage furniture, t will always be "age factors". However, just a few with this piece... I noted a slight wobble to the 14" artillery wheels, although they are secure to the axle and stability is not effected; a small section of rubber trim is missing from one front caster; a very slight sun-lightening around the very outer edge of the table top, (not the leaves) and the tray wood frame has also lightened slightly; a teeny tiny nick on the top edge, but it's concealed by the tray. ** Outdoor sun pics tend to make the wood appear somewhat lighter, so I have added a couple of indoor views. The dimensions with the tray top in place: 27" long (not including handle) x 17" wide x 29" height; 38" wide with the leaves upright; weight is 33 pounds. Shipping will be via Greyhound GPX to the terminal in your hometown or to the terminal nearest your hometown. It will be necessary to retrieve upon arrival. Shipping cost to most of the lower 48 states is $72.00. Personal check or money order must be received within 7 DAYS of the close of auction and shipping is within 2-3 days of receipt of payment. It is necessary to reply to my direct email invoice within 24 hours of the close of auction to exchange information. I rely on excellent communiction for a smooth transaction. If you have less than 5 feedback, please email prior to bidding. Thanks so much for viewing!!
