  • Object Type
    Elaborate bands made up of metal thread or silk were used by upholsterers in the 17th century in their repertoire of elaborate passementerie, or trimmings. The great cost of these trimmings meant that they were often specified in inventory descriptions of furniture.

    Materials & Making
    Since the purpose of these trimmings was to enhance the visual effect of furniture and hangings, they were usually made in eye-catching materials, gold and silver thread or brightly-coloured silks. Contrasts in pattern and texture were achieved by building up layers, often in quite complex three-dimensional forms. Sometimes the trimmings were imported from France and Italy, but they were also made in London.     (en)
