An antique workshop stencil made of heavy cardboard, intended for creating painted decorations on walls or woodwork. This design is distinguished by its rich and balanced composition, organized around a central vase from which stylized scrolls, foliage, and floral motifs unfold. The overall effect evokes the grand ornamental decorations of the late 19th century, blending classical and naturalistic influences. Fully cut out, this stencil allowed for direct application of paint with crisp outlines and demonstrates considerable precision in the execution of the design. Visible traces of pigment confirm its use in a workshop. Small tears and minor losses are present in some areas of the design, consistent with use, but these do not detract from the overall legibility of the motif.
