Description
A mid-century modern teak hostess or tea trolley manufactured by Remploy. The trolley features a rectangular drop-leaf top with two hinged leaves that fold down to allow for versatile use as a side table or small dining surface. The top and lower shelf are finished in teak veneer, supported by a solid stained hardwood A-frame structure with integrated handles at either end. The unit is mounted on four swivelling metal castors with dark rubber wheels. On the underside of the central support beam, there is a small white rectangular adhesive label with a red border reading “Remploy” and “PRODUCT” in smaller text below.
Condition report:

The lower shelf displays multiple areas of chipped and peeling veneer along the edges and surface corners (photo 1). The wooden frame has various scuffs and scratches, particularly evident on the handles and lower legs (photo 3). The metal castor housings show oxidation and surface wear (photo 4).
