In 1747, became the official supplier to the court of King Louis the XIV, and its reputation continued to grow in the following decades. became the master vinegar-maker of the kings of France and other European Courts!

A new favorite Parisian Sparrow home decoration boutique! 🇫🇷

The " A Paris chez Antoinette Poisson" workshop (aka ), located closed to the Bastille's place (75011).

In the 1700s, Dominotiers (a French guild of paper makers) hand-blocked and crafted decorative papers. Those sheets were used as wallpaper, decorative papers (book covers), or lining boxes. However, with the new continuous paper roll, the Domino technique slowly disappeared during the next century.

Fortunately, since 2012, Vincent Farelly and Jean-Baptiste Martin (heritage restorers), the creators of Antoinette Poisson in Paris, have been reviving the artisanal know-how of 18th-century domino makers in their Parisian workshop.

They even named their brand after the actual name of the Marquise de Pompadour, King Louis XV's favorite (she was a lover of art and wallpaper who lived when the domino papers flourished).

You will discover handmade decorative objects (stationery, textiles, etc.), domino papers and wallpapers by roll, and even water perfumes (inspired by the 18th century). They are original creations or inspired by historical documents, 100% Made in France.

also regularly collaborates with other well-known brands (Nina Ricci, Dyptique, Gucchi, Ladurée, Château de Versailles, La confiture parisienne, Monoprix...etc).

You can buy these products, which feature beautiful ornate designs and timeless patterns, in the beautiful Parisian boutique or in the Le Bon Marché main department store corner !
