Parasolknop van goud, versierd met waterlelies, lisdodden en libelle c. 1900 - 1906

This gold parasol knob, created by the Dutch firm van den Eersten & Hofmeijer around 1900-1906, exemplifies the Art Nouveau style. The knob is adorned with a delicate floral pattern of water lilies, cattails, and a dragonfly, all rendered in relief. This piece, likely a decorative element from a larger parasol, exemplifies the emphasis on organic motifs and flowing lines characteristic of Art Nouveau.
