Staal van zwarte machinale kant met een schulprand; met voluutpatroon c. 1900 - 1910

This piece of black lace, created by Gustav Schnitzler around the turn of the 20th century, is a beautiful example of the intricate craftsmanship of the time. The delicate floral motifs and swirling patterns are characteristic of the Art Nouveau style, which was popular at the time. This piece, now in the Rijksmuseum, would have been used to adorn clothing or other textiles, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to everyday wear.
