What size do these print at?

Each pattern is a seamless repeat of engraved vignettes, scaled for standard fabric or wallpaper yardage.

Can I get a different scene, like a tea ceremony or a dragon motif?

Yes — the direction field takes any scene, and the same engraved chinoiserie structure renders it.

What are the three grounds?

Blue and white, rose, and celadon — the three grounds chinoiserie toile is most often sold in, instead of the three classic inks.

Is this drawn from a real historic textile?

It draws on the chinoiserie toile tradition's visual technique — engraved fantasy scenery — as a style reference, not a copy of any archive print.

Reading 2Bird and blossom toile

Reading 3Procession toile

Chinoiserie is toile's second great subject: the European fantasy of Cathay as engravers drew it, with rocaille scenery, pagodas no one in China built, and birds no ornithologist could name. These nine render that scenery, the pagoda motif and an exotic bird, each across three grounds. Ask for a different scene — a tea ceremony, a garden pavilion, a dragon motif — and the same engraved-fantasy structure carries it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
