Description
A cotton or linen fabric printed with large landscape or floral designs made famous by a factory in Jouy-en-Josas, near Versailles. Toile de Jouy fabrics were first made in 1760 by Christophe-Philippe Oberkampf using woodblock prints. Later copperplates were used for printing the monochrome patterns that were popular for upholstery and wallpaper. Old Ford was a similar fabric made in England (1760-1780).
