Lint op rol, gestreept, het lint is zwart met in het midden drie ingeweven strepen in de kleuren oranje, rood en lichtblauw en is aan de zijkanten afgezet met respectievelijk lichtblauw en oranje borduursel before 1926

Here's a striped ribbon on a roll, probably made with some kind of loom, by Gustav Schnitzler. This ribbon is like a miniature painting. The black ground sets off the stripes of orange, red, and light blue, woven with care and precision. I imagine Schnitzler at work, carefully threading each colour, each strand contributing to the overall composition. Did he ever feel like he was painting with thread? It is as if the ribbon is a conversation between colours, each one responding to the other. The light blue and orange bordures dance on either side of the black, creating a sense of playful energy. It speaks to the potential in small gestures, that it is possible to create something both beautiful and useful.
