18th century inspiration artcraft by ANTOINETTE POISSON
When 2 heritage restorers re-discovered the “Domino” paper technique ! In the 1700s, the decorative papers were hand-blocked crafted by the Dominotiers (French guild of paper makers). Those papers sheets were used as wallpaper, decorative papers (books covers) or lining boxes….But during the next century, with the new continuous paper roll, the Domino technique slowly disappeared.
Luckily, Vincent Farelly and Jean-Baptiste Martin have been reviving this “savoir-faire” in their Parisian workshop.
They even named their brand with the real name of the Marquise de Pompadour, the King Louis XV’s favorite (she was a lover of art and wallpaper, who lived when the domino papers flourished ).
You will discover handmade decorative objects (stationery, textiles…), domino papers and wallpapers by rolls, even water perfumes (inspired by the 18th century).
The brand “A Paris with Antoinette Poisson” also regularly collaborates with other well-known brands (Nina Ricci, Dyptique, Gucchi, Ladurée, Château de Versailles, La confiture parisienne…etc).
You can buy these products with beautiful ornate designs and timeless patterns on the e-shop, in the Parisian boutique or in Le Bon Marché main department store corner.
