Decorative object - Gilt metal fringe for furnishings. - DELETE THIS RECORD (re-numbered)

Physical description

Board wrapped w c.17m of heavy bullion fringe in several pieces, evidently unpicked from curtains (DAD-035-0001), and/or possibly furniture items. The fringe is composed of metallic thread tightly wound over a cotton thread, attached to a narrow header braid with an ornamental design worked in metallic gimp cord. The colour was originally gold, now tarnished on all parts exposed to air, but sections of the fringe under the top layers retain the luxurious gold finish.
