Antoinette Poisson
During the Age of Enlightenment in France, the dominotiers’ guild printed ornate motifs on laid rag paper sheets using engraved plates and applying color with stencils - these decorative sheets of paper, the early ancestor of wallpaper, were called “dominos”.
In 2012, three trained paper conservators – Julie Stordiau, Jean-Baptiste Martin and Vincent Farelly – came together to revive the nearly lost art of hand-blocked printmaking and formed ‘A Paris chez Antoinette Poisson’.
Inspired by the old charm of 18th-century interiors, using designs and motifs based on both original creations as well as prints from historical archives, Antoinette Poisson offers a complete collection of paper and fabric goods, from dominos and notebooks to wallpapers and textiles, as well as ornamental antique objects such as their timeless memory boxes.
