Chintz was originally glazed calico textiles; initially specifically those imported from India; printed with designs featuring flowers and other patterns in different colours; typically on a light plain background. This book contains a fascinating guide to the history of English chintz; in relation to antique furniture; and includes beautifully detailed illustrations interspersed with poetry. A lovely little book sure to appeal to those with an interest in chintz and antique furniture; this text is one of a kind and not to be missed by the discerning collector. Old English Chintzes has been elected for modern republication due to its educational value; and we are proud to republish it here complete with a new introduction on the history of furniture.
