Will people ever tire of toiles?  Will toiles ever go completely out of style?  I think the answer to these questions and other toile questions relating to this subject is, no.  Toiles have been popular themes for thousands of years and it is just as “in place” and popular today as it was back in the 18^th century.  You will find serene pastoral harvest scenes which stand the test of time while providing up to date color palette and point of interest.  Vibrant painted pinks, orange and yellows make the wall a point of interest.  The labors and revelries of Seasons Toile are intricately illustrated in rich red against white.   The quintessential design for timeless romance, toile (pronounced ‘twall’) traces its origins to 18th century fabrics. This celebrated motif is explored with a range of classical reproductions and modern reimaginings. More York Collections
