Beautiful old haberdashery board featuring a dense collection of decorative cords and braids, carefully attached with wax to a hand-annotated cardboard backing. The different sections demonstrate a methodical textile referencing work, with variations in twists, metallic threads, and textures, probably intended for a workshop or manufacturer. The ensemble offers a sober and elegant palette dominated by gold, silver, and ecru tones, typical of late 19th-century productions.
