Les Hortensias 1895 – Origin – Fabric by the meter
Collection TraditionOn Velvet or Vosges canvas woven in France
Inspiration
This rare heritage treasure, a hydrangea print crafted by the renowned Thierry-Mieg in Alsace, has traversed the ages to reach our hands.
It was love at first sight for our workshops, and we have since translated it into fabrics and wallpapers.
Captivated by the undeniable beauty of its delicate flowers, its subtle shades of original blue, and the exquisite light emanating from the whole, we sought to restore and enhance this gouache on paper from the late 18th to early 19th century, restoring its full brilliance to a work of art of the finest quality.
This gouache displays with joy and subtlety a whole variation of this flower from Japan, symbol of the passing of time but also of lasting love. Harbinger of the rainy season in the Levant, the hydrangea motif was well known to the Alsatian manufacturer thanks to its close links with Japan.
In the 1850s, Japan was forced to open itself to international trade and, on this occasion, sought to discover modern industrial techniques for textile manufacturing. The wool muslin for making winter kimonos was ordered from the Thierry-Mieg in Mulhouse, renowned worldwide for the quality of its designs and prints.
It will then be the fruit of a long collaboration and a fruitful artistic exchange on both sides, contributing to the development of Japonisme in France and in Europe.

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.
