What is toile?

Toile, which is short for toile du Juoy , is a pattern used in home decoration. The repeated pattern is traditionally set to a fabric with a white or cream background and most often printed in the navy, red and black. The formula is a traditionally monochrome pastoral scene that tells the story. Given the increase in popularity toile, she found a place not only on traditional substances, but also on wallpapers and clothing.

The name, which is a French word, literally translates into a "fabric". Its origin may be traced to Jouy-en-Josas in France, where the first commercial plant, which is produced in bulk, started production in 1760. Despite its very proper reputation, the toile was definitely an unauthorized beginning.

Christopher-Philippe Oberkampf, which previously produced toile using an expensive and laborious process, revealed the techniques of secret etching in England. This technique used copper cylinders, which would make it easier to produce formulas. He haemitated the secrets from the country and continued to receive the legion of honorary distinction itselfOleon for her efforts. The French obviously took their toile very seriously.

Toile mificionados love the pattern for its formality, royal tone and the ability to dress anything. While some consider it excessive, clogged and old -fashioned, most of them consider charming their sensitivity. The Toile fabric was usually used on almost every surface in the room, including upholstery, curtains, walls, bedding and lamps, but now it is used more often on a smaller, more focused scale on lamps, dog beds and baby lingerie. Tea teas and households with this pattern appear in China. Toilets and accessories using toile in different colors and samples are also more popular.

Traditionally, Toile depicts French provincials, seasons, forest scenes, stories depicting Roman gods and sea adventure. Originally it was supposed to tell the story, but now patterns can include anything from FLORAls after circus scenes and animals. Yellow, Greens and Pinks replaced the traditional white and creamy background, so the formula was definitely funky and more eclectic option in home decoration.
