The story
The story begins in 1968, when Jacques BEURCQ, grandson of a “Tour de France” companion, bought a factory producing wooden articles, in particular canvas support frames.
Quickly he modernized and industrialized manufacturing. He thus becomes the exclusive supplier of the largest French brand of the time, Lefranc Bourgeois. His reputation for quality then allows him to work with renowned houses, Sennelier, Berge…
20 years later, the second generation takes over. Christine and William BEURCQ created MASTER TOILES in July 1989.
To cope with the changing market, we decided to offer a more finished product and a canvas mounted on frame. Supported by a laboratory, we develop a coating which over the years makes of reputation our canvas.
Targeting the top of the range, by coating exclusively Belgian linens, long fiber, calendered, recognized worldwide for their quality, we have kept the traditional, manual techniques of “saber” gluing, with skin glue.
We supply professional or amateur painters, in all Usual Formats, but also Made to Measure.
