two (accompanying/additional) lancé wefts
I would be inclined to leave out accompanying/additional. From what I understand of the explanation below, a lancé weft is an additional weft.
Ciselé velvet with a ground of gold *lancé weft*,
first half of sixteenth century, Florence,
Museo Nazionale del Bargello

Brocade is a fabric embellishment, conducted during the weaving
process, using extra (supplementary) ends or picks. Originally the term
was used to denote a class of silk fabrics ornamented with *extra wefts* of
gold or silver. Brocading can be done on a wide variety of structures,
including plain, satin or twill weaves. *The term “lancé” is applied if the
additional weft extends over the entire width of the fabric with only a
few interlacements*.

two decorative satin weaves
I think this may be what is being described here:
"Satin weave has floating or overshot warp threads on the surface which reflect light, giving a characteristic luster."
which sounds similar to the silver/gold thread description that follows
