Beautiful three-fold notebook presenting a dense selection of twisted threads mixing dyed silks and metallic threads, fixed with red wax with precise handwritten annotations. The ensemble reveals a methodical organization by references and compositions, with many models associating several colors (red, cream, black, green, blue) and golden threads. The variety of twists and combinations testifies to a working document intended for the creation or ordering of trimmings, both technical and visually very rich. ✦ Provenance: Germany ✦ Estimated period: Circa 1900 ✦ Dimensions: 29.5 x 15.5 cm (closed) - 3 folds ✦ Material: Paper, textile and metallic threads (silk, cotton, brass), cardboard ✦ Condition: Good overall condition, signs of use, light foxing, wax fixings well present, stable and coherent whole.
Old trimmings support combining aesthetics and function, particularly suitable for display in wall decoration or in a cabinet of curiosities.
