To end this week of craftsmanship, here's the world famous Toile de Jouy, which I have already told you about here. This week has only been a small selection of the splendours of this show...Pour finir ma semaine des métiers d'art, voici les Toiles de Jouy dont je vous parlais ici. Cette semaine n'a été qu'une toute petite sélection des splendeurs de ce salon...

I love Toile de Jouy and antique French furniture. Nice photo.
An arts and crafts show really becomes worthwhile when it features artists and craftspeople doing their thing!
Re Images: I don't know what the hell is wrong with that blog, but I'm seriously considering canning it. I'll give it another couple of days. Or I might kill it tonight!
There's always such a dreamy quality to your photos.
I love the motion of the hammer, splendid timing!
I would love to see the finished product.
I would love to see the chair in the first photo when it's finished! Great shots!
I admire people who can make things like this since my manual dexterity is... well, I can turn a steering wheel.
I wish I was there.
I am putting in for grand weather for the next few weeks. MB
These are lovely, and I'm with Bob on the manual dexterity side.
We live in a time with too many so-called 'artists' and too few real craftsmen like these.
I am always impressed with people who have talents like this!
Well done with the timing on the hammering shot Ciel, nicely done :o) Must have been fascinating to watch them work.
I would love to have some for my chairs. :)

A nice long tradition. Toile is so luxe; I'm glad there are people keeping this skill alive and fresh.
