History of toile de jouy (1)

The term toile de jouy originated in France in the late eighteenth century. In the French language the phrase literally means, 'cloth from jouy en Josas", a town near Versaille, in North Central France.

Christophe-Phillipe-Oberkamff (German born), moved to Paris, aged 20 in 1758. His Father and Grandfather were in the cloth dying business and as a youngster he watched and learned. He continued in this business and in 1759 he formed a partnership with a former Swiss employer. The two began to manufacture printed cotton with engraved wood boards. The first fabrics were successfully printed in May 1764.

Chistophe-Phillippe-Oberkamff

                                                      

The factory was set up in the town of Jouy-en Josas  and the company grew quickly. By 1805 the factory employed 1,322 workers. Christophe-Phillip became a French citizen in 1770 and became the first mayor of Jouy-en Josas in 1790.

The factory of Jouy 1807 by J.B. Huet (Le Musee de la Toile de Jouy).

'The cloth is bleached by the sun in the meadow - the cloth was spread pattern side down and sprinkled with water six to eight times a day for six days.'
