The History of Toile de Jouy Toile pronounced twal, (the word means cloth in French), the name comes from Jouy-en-Josas, France where the first plant to commercially produce this type of printing was established in 1760. Typically the images were scenes that told a story. The definition of toile is found in drawings might retell a myth of a French farming family. Although it has been continuously produced since then, it experienced a marked upsurge in popularity in recent years. This pattern is a timeless Provencal classic characterized by a monochromatic etching on a solid background. Usually the artwork resembles a pen and ink sketch with floral and country motifs.
