Superb antique three-panel board featuring a curated selection of twisted threads, blending colorful silks and metallic threads. Each sample is carefully affixed with red wax and accompanied by detailed handwritten annotations, likely of Germanic origin, indicating references, compositions, or uses. The ensemble offers a very structured, almost technical reading, while retaining a strong decorative dimension thanks to the color contrasts and metallic reflections.
