Beautiful triptych workshop board displaying twisted threads and metallic cords, identified under the German title "Rundschnuren" (round cords). Each sample is affixed with red wax to a grid-patterned cardboard backing, accompanied by precise handwritten notes (numbers, compositions, lengths), revealing a technical and commercial use in the field of passementerie or embroidery. The highly structured ensemble perfectly illustrates the presentation methods of textile manufacturers or representatives in Central Europe at the end of the 19th century.
