White Wool/Acrylic Shako Cord with Silver Metallic Thread — French Military Style

A white wool/acrylic blend braided cord with silver metallic thread accents, in the tradition of 19th-century French military shako cords (cordons de shako). Hand-plaited in a thick multi-strand braid, forming a large loop designed to drape across the chest/shoulder and around the shako, secured with a woven toggle closure. Terminates in multiple ornate flemish-knot "acorn" tassels of varying sizes with dense fringe, a common feature of French dress shako cord sets which often included several tassel drops rather than a single pair.
