Chintz Fragment (India)
This is a Chintz fragment. It is dated 18th century and we acquired it in 1973. Its medium is cotton and its technique is mordant painted and dyed plain weave. It is a part of the Textiles department.
At the turn of the 18th century, France was part of a growing global economy, with material goods supplied by commercial trade networks. French interest in Indian chintz skyrocketed, alongside the trend for Asian-style ceramics. The color-fastness of dyes used on Indian chintz was one of the material’s most desirable properties, just as the high-firing colors of Moustiers faience were valued for their strength and resistance to fading.
