Thibaut
The long established (1886) US Wallcovering company is now represented in Ireland by Jacinta Edge-Moody.
We now have the new Artisan, Residence & Toile Portfolio Books in stock. The latter 2 books also have complementary fabrics. The former includes designs by The Alpha Workshops which trains and employs people living with HIV/AIDS in the decorative arts.
The new ranges include some new takes on classic designs which have become hard to find in Europe such as a nice dark blue Damask. Also included are some recoloured toiles which woud suit a modern interior.
Dublin in the 1750's was a hotbed of innovation and 7 years before Arthur Guinness produced a now world wide brand, Francis Nixon developed the first Toile 'The miller, his wife and his ass' at his works in Drumcondra. 259 years later the toile designs are still perennial favorites.
Some of you will remember the 'Irish Volunteer Toile' produced by Guy Evans of Tissunique in the 70's and which is now a collectors item.
We also have samples of the Charles Burger Toile de Joey collection including Les Pechures ( 1780) featuring a ruin after the style of Hubert Robert ( 1783-1808) and Ballon de Gonesse (1784) celebrating the balloon trips of the year before by the Robert brothers and M Charles.
