Lint op rol, lila gaaslint met twee rijen schulpen c. 1890 - 1935

This piece, created by Gustav Schnitzler sometime between 1890 and 1935, is a roll of lilac-colored lace trim. This type of trim is a common material for clothing, curtains and other household items. The piece is part of the Rijksmuseum’s collection and is a small but detailed example of the decorative and functional materials used in fashion and household design from the turn of the century.
