Red Wool Shako Cord with Raquette Tassels — French Napoleonic Style

A red wool hand-plaited cord in the tradition of French military shako cords (cordon de shako) of the Napoleonic and 19th-century era. Hand-twisted in a thick multi-strand rope braid, forming a large loop secured with a woven knot closure, and finished with two "raquette" (racket/paddle-shaped) flemish-knot tassels with dense wool fringe, plus a smaller secondary fringe tassel — a tassel style closely associated with French infantry and line regiment shako cords of the period.
