Curiously enough, it was Ben Franklin's gift to his wife that would bring about the end of Oberkampf's textile mill in Jouy-en-Josas.
The Franklins popularized it in the colonies, and American imitations of French toile eventually put Oberkampf out of business in 1840.
Though Deborah Read, Mrs. Ben Franklin, probably wouldn't have paired toile with gingham, she would have loved this bedroom.
