About Toile de Jouy
The name refers to a French printed fabric that originated in the late 18th century, primarily associated with the town of Jouy-en-Josas near Paris, where textile manufacturer Christophe-Philippe Oberkampf established his renowned factory. These intricate, single-color designs on cotton or linen often depict pastoral scenes and rural life, originally inspired by Indian chintz fabrics. The term "toile de Jouy" literally translates to "cloth from Jouy" and became synonymous with this distinctive style of printed fabric, gaining widespread popularity across Europe due to its unique aesthetic and Oberkampf's exceptional quality production.
