Jean de La Fontaine – Classic Blue – Fabric by the meter
Collection TraditionOn Velvet or Vosges canvas woven in France
Inspiration
Aesop , Greek poet of the 7th century BC inspired the great Jean de La Fontaine to write his animal fables. Although written in classic French, they have not aged a bit to this day and each fable still teaches its own moral and invites reflection. For this creation and these drawings in the style of an old drypoint engraving, we have chosen a composition in scenes characteristic of the emblematic Toile de Jouy .
La Fontaine's fables have been illustrated numerous times, among others by Baptiste Oudry and Gustave Doré in the 18th Century or more recently by the excellent Benjamin Rabier and even Chagall ...
you will find our vision for The Crow and the Fox, The Hare and the Tortoise, The Cicada and the Ant, The Wolf and the Lamb, The Oak and the Reed, The Lion and the Rat; an inexhaustible source of the French spirit, they will delight young and old alike. To coordinate with the wallpaper of the same name.

High resistance to abrasion, for durable, high-quality furnishing textiles
Our textile products are tested using the Martindale , which allows us to evaluate the abrasion resistance of a fabric over time. This is particularly useful for choosing a fabric that will be used often: armchair seats, sofa covers,cushions, etc. This test is expressed in number of revolutions (the Martindale machine rotates while rubbing the fabric), and for example, the French furniture standard is 10,000 Martindale revolutions for sofa coverings.
