The F. Schumacher Shengyou Toile in Charcoal (175803) is a classic black-and-white design full of ornate detail that both jumps off of the fabric and blends into your current home. The antique document textile that inspired Shengyou Toile has an amazing heritage. The pattern was drawn by Jean-Baptiste Pillement, a court painter to Marie Antoinette, and printed in 1785 from copper plates at the Oberkampf factory in Jouy, the genre's seminal mill. Our reproduction builds on the original's strengths-blowing up the motif to suit the scale of modern rooms-while sparing no expense to remain faithful to its integrity. In an era of digital reproduction, these fabric standout because they are hand-drawn and engraved, providing unparalleled layers of depth and dimension. Add this fabric to your home or office and enjoy this look for years to come.
