Serpentine patterned marbled paper (Alternative pattern names: Peigné Serpentin, Gewunden Gekämmter, Waved, Wave)

This Serpentine was first created in the middle of the 19th century. The pattern is created by starting with a Turkish base. A comb with one set of teeth is drawn through the bath twice vertically, once in either direction with the second pass halving the first. This step is repeated horizontally. Then the final step is to draw a comb, with one set of teeth set at slightly wider intervals, through the bath once vertically in wavy lines reminiscent of the way in which a snake moves. [source]
