Parasolknop of parapluknop van hout, met op de knop een ingekerfde versiering in de vorm van zonnebloemen c. 1920

This wooden umbrella handle, carved by Gustav Schnitzler around 1920, is a fine example of decorative craftsmanship. The handle is adorned with an intricate carved design of sunflowers, a motif common in Dutch folk art. The handle's simple cylindrical form, interrupted by the floral motif, is typical of utilitarian objects that were designed for everyday use while also incorporating aesthetic details. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artistry and craftsmanship of early 20th-century Dutch woodcarving.
