Large sheets of stencils on paper, used in decorators' workshops for transferring ornamental motifs for walls or furniture. These stencils feature compositions typical of the late 19th century, blending stylized plant elements with decorative urns inspired by neoclassicism. The visible perforations allow for precise transfer of the design by dusting, a technique characteristic of decorative painting workshops. The old creases indicate actual use and repeated handling in a professional setting.
