A rare, complete workshop sheet featuring 26 numbered metal decorative motifs intended for jewelry, leather goods, or fine art hardware. The designs, mounted on green cardboard, are finely crafted in a style typical of the Art Nouveau/Art Deco transition: palmettes, scrolls, Greek key patterns, and openwork geometric shapes. Some are enhanced with white or gold enamel, while others retain a black metallic patina. Each piece bears a handwritten reference number, indicating it was a factory or sales representative presentation piece. A beautiful, cohesive, and decorative set, rare in this complete condition.
