Protective house 13.3" Toile de jouy

This piece is a fragment of fabric (upholstery and curtains) recovered from a major Parisian hotel. In yellow, green, blue, or red, this Toile de Jouy—a prominent symbol of 18th-century French decorative arts—adorned all the rooms and suites of the hotel, providing a typically Parisian cozy atmosphere.

The bilum-plated handle of this cover is made from a seat belt sourced from a car scrapyard—slip your hand over it for perfect support.
