A beautiful three-fold color chart presenting a structured selection of twisted threads, mixing colored silks and metallic threads, affixed with red wax on cardboard with precise handwritten annotations. The whole is distinguished by a clear organization by references, with more homogeneous and technical compositions, typical of a working tool intended for production or custom orders. The palette remains rich, with subtle variations around reds, whites, golds, and natural tones, punctuated by some more marked contrasts.
