Parasolknop of parapluknop van hout; de afgeplatte knop is versierd met geschilderde bloemen c. 1920

This wooden umbrella knob, crafted by Gustav Schnitzler around 1920, is a delightful example of decorative craftsmanship. The knob itself is simple and cylindrical, but the bottom is adorned with a band of colorful, hand-painted flowers. The knob is attached to a long, black cord with a small wooden ball at the end, suggesting it was once part of a larger umbrella. This charming piece, now in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the artistic details that could be found on everyday objects in the early 20th century.
