2Pcs AUTHENTIC FRENCH Vintage Aluminum Color Smooth Purl Bullion Embroidery

Description: Authentic Vintage French metal embroidery bullion or smooth purl as it is more commonly called. My grandfather always referred to this as aluminum, however I think he was referring to the color and not the material. It was made over 60 years ago in France It is slightly over 1mm in diameter. The listing is for 2 pieces each measuring approx 36" long. Smooth purl has been used for centuries to add rich texture to hand embroidery. It is a traditional embellishment for ecclesiastical, military, ceremonial, and formal attire. It is made from metal wire which is coiled into a spring-like spiral. It is typically cut into short pieces, using a sharp scissors, and stitched into place like beads, with the needle passing through the spiral’s hollow center. When working with it, remember that bullion is delicate. It’s easily stretched beyond its elastic limit, and after that, will not return to its original shape. This item is original antique stock from the archives of Tinsel Trading, in NY, which was founded by my grandfather in 1933. I am constantly adding ribbons, trims, tassels, cords, fringes and more, some dating back as far as 1880's. Keep checking back!!
