Passemanterie workshop, Valencian Museum of Ethnology. Passementerie worked in white linen thread is the origin of bobbin lace,Montupet, Janine, and Ghislaine Schoeller: Lace: The Elegant Web, and passement is an early French word for lace.S.F.A. Caulfeild and B.C. Saward, The Dictionary of Needlework, 1885. Today, passementerie is used with clothing, such as the gold braid on military dress uniforms, and for decorating couture clothing and wedding gowns.

The art and history of tassels are known by its French name, passementerie, or Posamenten as it was called in German. The military output of the artisans called passementiers (ornamental braid, lace, cord, or trimmings makers) is evident in catalogs of various military uniform and regalia makers of centuries past. The broader art form of passementerie, with its divisions of Decor, Clergy and Nobility, Upholstery, Coaches and Livery, and Military, is covered in a few books on that subject, none of which are in English. Indian swords had the tassel attached through an eyelet at the end of the pommel.

Elisabeth Baulacre (1613–1693), was a Genevan businessperson.Elisabeth Baulacre, in the Historical Dictionary of Switzerland From 1641 onward, when her first husband Pierre Perdriau died, she developed and managed the manufacture of passementerie she inherited from him, and more specifically the silver and gold threads business which was needed for the passementerie. According to the 17th-century historian Gregorio Leti she employed 1200 salaried workers, who tailored for her at their own homes. She also sponsored the long apprenticeship of goldbeating (five to six years) of several young craftsmen, in order to secure the gold threads she needed for her trade.

Elsewhere, slashing was more restrained, but bands of contrasting fabric called guards, whether in colour or texture, were common as trim on skirts, sleeves, and necklines. These were often decorated with bands of embroidery or applied passementerie. Bobbin lace arose from passementerie in this period, probably in Flanders,Montupet, Janine, and Ghislaine Schoeller: Lace: The Elegant Web, and was used both as an edging and as applied trim; it is called passamayne in English inventories.Arnold, Janet, Lost from Her Majesties Back The most fashionable furs were the silvery winter coat of the lynx and dark brown (almost black) sable.

The French widely exported their very artistic work, and at such low prices that no other nation developed a mature "trimmings" industry. Tassels and their associated forms changed style throughout the years, from the small and casual of Renaissance designs, through the medium sizes and more staid designs of the Empire period, and to the Victorian Era with the largest and most elaborate. In Scotland at the end of the 16th century some passementerie was made with inferior gold and silver thread which quickly tarnished. On 6 May 1593 the Duke of Lennox and his friends decided not to wear any passementerie for a year, especially "passements great or small, plain or 'a jour', bissets, lilykins, cordons, and fringes".

Historical Manuscripts Commission, Appendix 4th Report: Mrs. Erskine Murray (London, 1874), p. 527. Passementerie with clothing was for a long time reserved for the elites as a sign of social distinction among royalty, aristocracy, religious, and military. Since the 18th century, the use became largely obsolete with the simplification of clothing.

As time went on, various peoples developed variations on this. In the 16th century, the Guild of Passementiers was created in France. In France practitioners of the art were called "passementiers", and an apprenticeship of seven years was required to become a master in one of the subdivisions of the guild. The Guild documented the art of passementerie.

Red fringe trim on a woman's dress c. 1870. Elaborate gold metallic lace trim c. 1760-65. Trim or trimming in clothing and home decorating is applied ornament, such as gimp, passementerie, ribbon, ruffles, or, as a verb, to apply such ornament.

Maneglier, Hervé, Paris Impérial, p. 43. Similar types of manufacturing tended to be located in particular areas of the city. Furniture- makers and craftsmen who worked with bronze were located in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine; makers of tassels were found in the Faubourg Saint-Denis; shops that specialized in fabric trimming and fringes (passementerie) were found (and are still found) in the Temple area. Often the workshops were found in old houses on side streets.

Black was increasingly worn for the most formal occasions. Bobbin lace arose from passementerie in the mid-16th century, probably in Flanders.Montupet, Janine, and Ghislaine Schoeller: Lace: The Elegant Web, This century also saw the rise of the ruff, which grew from a mere ruffle at the neckline of the shirt or chemise to immense cartwheel shapes. At their most extravagant, ruffs required wire supports and were made of fine Italian reticella, a cutwork linen lace.

He was tricked by English pirates off Great Yarmouth, led by William Hudson of Colchester, who pretended to be searching for pirates. They stole his own clothes as well as a stock of fabric including velvets, the most costly being a figured black velvet, gold and silver thread, silk thread, gold and silver passementerie, and various silk chamlets and Spanish taffetas.

In 1910, wrote Richardson, "she already stood out for the unconventional sparseness of her rooms, for her disdain of poufs and potted palms and too much passementerie.... She appreciated things that were very fine and simple, above all, things made of linen, cotton, deal, or stone, whose quality improved with laundering or fading, scrubbing or polishing. She attended to the smallest detail in her house". For her, Elegance means elimination. Errazuriz hung curtains of unlined linen, and whitewashed the walls like a peasant's home – a shocking decorating approach in 1914.

From the 16th century, Saint-Étienne developed an arms manufacturing industry and became a market town. It was this which accounted for the town's importance, although it also became a centre for the manufacture of ribbons and passementerie starting in the 17th century. Later, it became a mining centre of the Loire coal mining basin, and more recently, has become known for its bicycle industry. In the first half of the 19th century, it was only a chief town of an arrondissement in the ' of the Loire, with a population of 33,064 in 1832.

The dolman entered Western culture via Hungary starting in the sixteenth and continuing on into the nineteenth centuries where Hungarian hussars developed it into an item of formal military dress uniform. The jacket was cut tight and short, and decorated with passementerie throughout. Under this was worn an embroidered shirt that was cut tightly to the waist and beneath which it the shirt flared out into a skirt that sometimes reached nearly to the knee in the csakora- style. A decorated saber or sword hung from a barrel sash around the waist.

Later, goods such as paper, goldsmiths' work, silk, spices and oriental perfumes such as frankincense from places up to 7000 km away were sold on the bridge, and the locally produced woad, a valuable and important dye for which Erfurt was renowned, was sold to traders who took it across Europe.Thirsk, Joan (1997) Alternative Agriculture: A History: From the Black Death to the Present Day, Oxford: Oxford University Press, pp. 81–82 During the 16th and 17th centuries, after the current half- timbered houses had been built, trades people such as toymakers, furriers, passementerie makers and leather tanners began to operate from the workshops on the bridge. In 1624 the city council gave permission for street musicians to play on and around the bridge, with flutes, fiddles, trumpets, crumhorns and pommers.

Tilting was achieved through the flexion of the four large C-shaped steel springs on which the seat rested, using the sitter's feet as a fulcrum. The modernity of its design, which included an innovative use of cast iron for the frame, was visually downplayed by hiding the springs behind a dense passementerie (an elaborate trim) and by rendering the frame in the nostalgic, gilded Rococo RevivalField Guide to American Antique Furniture: A Unique Visual System for Identifying ..., By Joseph T.
