Superb antique two-panel support, featuring an assortment of golden and silver metallic cords, braids, and trimmings, fixed with wax on handwritten sheets. The annotations in pen, in German, detail each reference with technical precision characteristic of use in a trimmings workshop. The diversity of weaving, the fineness of the threads, and the overall patina give the whole a rich graphic appeal, typical of 19th-century work tools.
