Today is Pink Saturday at Bev's place, How Sweet The Sound. Visit Bev and you will find over a hundred posts created all about PINK.Today I'd like to share with you the history of toile de Jouy.
Toile de Jouy, sometimes abbreviated to simply "toile", is a type of decorating pattern consisting of a usually white or off-white background on which a repeated pattern depicting a fairly complex scene, generally of a pastoral theme such as (for example) a couple having a picnic by a lake. Toiles also often consist of an arrangement of flowers. The pattern portion consists of a single colour, most often black, dark red, or blue. Greens, browns and magenta toile patterns are less common but not unheard of. Toile is most associated with fabrics (curtains and upholstery in particular), though toile wallpaper is also popular. Toile can also be used on teapots and beddings.
Toile de Jouy originated in France in the late 1700s. In the French language, the phrase literally means "cloth from Jouy-en-Josas", a town of north-central France. Although it has been continuously produced since then, it experienced a marked upsurge in popularity around the year 2000. Previously only a decorating design, designers have been recently experimenting with toile-patterned apparel as well, although toile-patterned shirts were widely worn in the 1970s.
Hoy es Pink Saturday y puedes visitar a Beverly de How Sweet The Sound donde encontraras más de un centenar de puestos creados sobre el color rosa. Hoy me gustaría compartir con ustedes la historia de Toile de Jouy.
Toile de Jouy, a veces abreviado simplemente a "toile", es un tipo de decoración que consiste en un patrón generalmente blanco o blanco de fondo en el que un patrón que representa una escena bastante compleja, por lo general de un tema pastoral, como (por ejemplo) una joven con un picnic en un lago. Toile también a menudo consiste en un arreglo de flores. El modelo parte y consta de un único color, negro con más frecuencia y color rojo oscuro o azul. Los patrones verdes, marrones y magenta son menos comunes, pero no desconocidos. Toile es asociado con la mayoría de las telas (cortinas y tapicería en particular), aunque el papel pintado también es popular. Toile también se puede usar en teteras y las camas.
Toile de Jouy se originó en Francia a finales de 1700. En la lengua francesa, la frase significa literalmente "tela de Jouy-en-Josas, una ciudad del centro-norte de Francia. Aunque se ha producido continuamente desde entonces, experimentó un marcado aumento de la popularidad en todo el año 2000. Los diseñadores han estado experimentando recientemente con toile-modelos de ropa, aunque camisetas con dibujos Toile fueron ampliamente usados en la decada de 1970.
Happy Pink Saturday!

Marina! interesante tu explicación!! es verdad, hoy día se estan usando mucho, inclusive las he visto en los negocios, de telas para tapicería, se hacen almohadones, cortinados, y porque no manteles? en casa aún conservo platos y fuentes, que eran de un juego de mi mami, cuando era adolescente no me gustaban! pero ahora las conservo con mucho cariño, no solo porque me parecen piezas muy delicadas, sino por el valor afectivo.
ResponderBorrarAdorable el programa! cuando puedo lo miro!!
Un besito para vos y tu linda familia!! Muuuack!
