Historic Wallpapers: Newark

I'm not sure what happened, but suddenly, toile feels right. The mustiness that used to be associated with the 18th century allover print has completely disappeared. Perhaps its because toile has a bit of a graphic quality to it, boldly contrasts with most furniture types and makes up for a lack of architecture or art (see mosaics, below).

Thibaut, located in Newark (480 Frelinghuysen Avenue), specializes in life-friendly reproductions of historic prints. The toile pictured at left is available in a variety of colors, with similar prints in varying scales. Other favorites: the Laguna and Spring Lake collections.
