What is toile de Jouy? A brief history
In the eighteenth century, printed toile fabric originated in Ireland but gained fame in France when Christophe-Philipe Oberkampf opened a factory in Jouy-en-Josas in 1760. Despite its Irish roots, it became known as toile de Jouy, named after the town near Paris where Oberkampf’s factory was located. Oberkampf’s venture marked one of the earliest large-scale productions of toile, which quickly became popular across Europe, particularly among French nobility.
