19th-century trim sample board

Beautiful trim sample board featuring an assortment of twisted cords and braids, in gold and silver threads, mounted with red wax on a hand-labeled cardboard. The piece captivates with its appearance as a workshop or textile house archive, with a sober, highly graphic presentation and a strong decorative dimension. The visible annotations, in German, as well as the designation "Rundschnüren," suggest a professional haberdashery or textile manufacturing support intended for model referencing. The presence of old handwritten dates reinforces its documentary interest as much as its power of presentation.
