Onderstok van parapluie of parasol van gekleurd berkenhout met knoestige, rechte haak van gekleurd, warrig esdoorn(?) c. 1920 - 1940

This wooden stick, likely a parasol or umbrella handle, was crafted by Gustav Schnitzler in the Netherlands around 1920-1940. It is made from birch and maple wood, showcasing Schnitzler's adeptness at woodworking. The handle's simple design, with a straight shaft and a slightly curved hook at the end, embodies the functional aesthetic of the era. This piece, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the skill of traditional craftsmanship in the early 20th century.
