Tussenzetsel, gebroken wit, met een golvende lijn en lichtblauwe bloemen c. 1920

This piece of bobbin lace, “Tussenzetsel, gebroken wit, met een golvende lijn en lichtblauwe bloemen” (c. 1920) by Gustav Schnitzler is a delicate example of the craft. The piece is composed of a repeating pattern of white and blue flowers, connected by a wavy line, creating a flowing and elegant design. The intricate bobbin lace technique, where threads are interwoven on bobbins, creates a detailed and textured piece that was likely used as a decorative trim for clothing or other textiles. The lace is currently on display in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
