Old thin cords made of gilded and silvered metallic threads

An old textile sample board titled "Rundschnüren," featuring a selection of fine cords made from gold and silver metallic threads, affixed with red wax to a carefully structured handwritten cardboard. The entire piece is notable for its very legible presentation, with precise technical annotations, numerical references, and organized registers, typical of professional use in a workshop or passementerie house. The presence of a bundle of untwisted threads and a few slightly different models adds a subtle variation to an overall homogeneous and elegant ensemble.
