The source is an 18th-century block-printed quilt in the Musée de la Toile de Jouy, photographed in the gallery and redrawn by hand. Heavy woodblock outlines set against a lattice that carries the eye up the wall, giving a room clear vertical structure at a 24-inch repeat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin:0;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;cursor:pointer;margin:0;\"\u003eRead More...\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top:1.2em;\"\u003eThe Source\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLong before French woodcutters carved its form into printing blocks, \u003cem\u003ePunica granatum\u003c\/em\u003e—the pomegranate—carried thousands of years of symbolic weight. Native to ancient Persia, the tree supplied both sustenance and craft: its bark yielded tannin for curing leather, while its rind and flowers produced textile dyes. Across global traditions, the fruit became an enduring emblem of health, fertility, and renewal—buried with the ancient Egyptians for the afterlife, embroidered around the hems of Hebrew high priests' robes, woven into Christian vestments and hangings as a symbol of resurrection, and gifted at Chinese weddings as an omen of posterity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the Renaissance, European silk weavers had adopted the fruit as a primary motif for luxury lampas and brocatelles, the fashion carried out of Byzantium and into Europe by way of Spain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis design originates from a 280 × 200 cm quilted and piqué bedspread produced in a small French workshop—one the museum places below the level of the Oberkampf Manufactory. With its thick, hand-drawn outlines and limited palette—originally red, black, and a deep \"puce\"—it carries the colours and line weight of the jafracanis imported from India, grounding centuries of global botanical symbolism in the quiet rhythm of 18th-century printmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surviving quilt was donated to the Musée de la Toile de Jouy in 2019 by les Amis du Musée de la Toile de Jouy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top:1.2em;\"\u003eThe Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSource:\u003c\/strong\u003e Block-printed cotton piqué bedspread, second half 18th century, French.
