Sold with certificate from van de Groenekan, dated March 1988, confirming the date of manufacture as 1983.
Rietveld's 1919 design was created for the model residence 'Spangen', and was acquired by the architect Piet Elling. The original was destroyed by fire in the 1920s, and van de Groenekan, with Rietveld's assistance, first re-created the design in the 1960s. This first model is now in the Stedlijk Museum, Amsterdam.
Approximately fifteen further pieces were created on commission by van de Groenekan between the 1960s and 1980s, mainly for museums and private clients.
