The tea-table is one of the very few objects at Cylinders that were there during Schwitters’ time, and can be seen outside the Shippon in contemporary photographs.

Kurt Schwitters outside the Shippon in 1947. The cheque from the Museum of Modern Art is displayed in his jacket pocket. The tea table remained at Cylinders and was kindly gifted to the Merz Barn project, along with the garden bench behind it, by William Pierce, grandson of Harry Pierce.
