In this post – Toile de Nantes by Pierre Frey
I have been thinking about wallpapering a few rooms in my house and I cannot get the Toile de Nantes by Pierre Frey out of my head!
John Fowler and Nancy Lancaster
I want to use the pattern either as a fabric on a chair or curtains or as wallpaper! I cannot decide!
What appeals to me about this wallpaper is that it is based off of an 18th century design that originated in Nantes, France!
I love that it seems new and refreshing in the ikat pattern, but there is something very timeless about it.

Sarah Bartholomew has a love affair with the pattern as well.

It seems the blue color way, Bleu Ancien, is favored by the designers.
This is the Rose Ancien. I love it in this color too – in fact I would consider putting this in my office!

It seems it did come in two other color ways as well but I cannot find the names of them!
I have some color ways of Toile de Nantes below and some similar copycat patterns I found in my search.

Do you love toile de nantes as much as I do?
I love that pattern, so pretty!
yes me too! Thank you for stopping by!
Beautiful! It's basically a repetitive, geometric pattern. But it has an organic feel to it because of the curvy, fuzzy lines. I think it gives a sophisticated feeling to any space.
Yes you are quite right about that!
