Exquisite Trimmings
The art of passementerie, or trimmings, dates back to the Renaissance and has
been an essential ingredient in the interior designer’s repertoire
for centuries. Like many other decorative arts, passementerie provides both
visual enhancement and hardworking utility. Silk, cotton and other fibers
are woven, braided, plaited and finished by hand in an endless variety of
configurations, styles and colors. Gimps conceal upholstery tacks and staples.
Cords and tiebacks hold draperies with refined elegance. Tassels provide
the finishing touch on a carefully designed interior.
Since 1939, Schumacher has been a preferred resource for trimmings for designers
seeking the beautiful yet practical ornamentation that passementerie provides.
