Antique trimmings - assorted metallic cords

Textile sample board featuring a series of twisted, braided, and smooth cords made of gold, silver, and aged metallic threads, affixed with red wax to a handwritten cardboard. The whole stands out for its slightly larger format and dense organization in numbered registers, with detailed technical annotations. The diversity of textures - tight, flat, braided, or more flexible cords - indicates advanced professional use, likely in a workshop or for presenting commercial references. The graphic aspect, enhanced by the repetition of lines and the overall patina, makes it a piece with a strong decorative presence.
