Unusual sewing table designed by Gerrit Thomas Rietveld, manufactured by Gerard vd Groenekan, Holland 1936. This sewing box comes from the interior of vd Groenekan himself. It was made of birch plywood, and birch wooden legs, red lacquered. The top is made of plexi and the handle of chrome plated metal. The door knob is made of brass.
