In M. Küper and I. van Zijl, Gerrit Th. Rietveld 1888-1964, Het volledige werk, Utrecht, 1990, another example of this design (in oak) is illustrated as number 345 and entitled Stoelen en banken voor de Nederlandsche Bank. The authors state that the chairs were supplied by Moolenbeek & Partners and that the slats become thinner during the years due to wood being scarce. This might also explain the use of beech for the chair on offer.
