Alvar Aalto Birch Dining or Writing Table with Blue Top and Cabinet

Description
1950s Alvar Aalto for Artek table composed of a large rectangular top joined to bentwood, laminated-birch legs. Fantastic, original blue linoleum top (looks and feels more like leather), which shows moderate wear from use but retains its vibrant color. The darker blue color in the close-ups is more indicative of the actual blue (some angles make the blue look lighter than it actually is). Wonderful age/patina to the piece yet remains structurally sound. Includes corresponding three drawer cabinet on caster wheels, which can be used separately as for storage, if using the table for dining. Cabinet also shows wear from use and age.
Design Research (Cambridge, MA) tag remnant present to the underside of the table, where it was purchased in the mid-1950s.
