Authentic Vintage French metal embroidery bullion or check purl as it is more commonly called. It is a beautiful shade of gold not as dark as the other I have listed & not as light as the other one either. It was made over 75 years ago in France

It is not as small as the darker gold listed . This one  looks to be about 2mm in diameter. The listing is for 1 piece is approx 36" long.

Check 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 .
