Superb triptych display presenting a selection of twisted threads and metallic cords (gold and silver), fixed with red wax on a cardboard backing with handwritten technical annotations. Each reference is carefully identified, indicating professional use, probably for luxury passementerie, textile ornamentation, or embroidery supplies. The ensemble offers a very graphic reading, with a strong contrast between the metallic threads and the red wax, typical of workshop presentations from the late 19th century.
