description

The 'end table' also called 'divan table' was designed by Rietveld in 1923. It served as an occasional table next to a divan-bench in the famous Rietveld/Schröder house in the city of Utrecht, the Netherlands.

The table here on offer has a spectacular provenance since it's origin is this famous house. It belonged to Truus Schröder the owner and inhabitant of the Rietveld/Schröder house and was made during the period she and Rietveld lived there together from 1958 till his death in 1964.
