Calico Shell Archive inspiration: Design for a printed chintz textile, England, 1760s–70s

The exquisite pattern was taken from a tiny, hand-painted artwork for a chintz textile that reflects the tremendous artistry of the British textile industry in the 18th century. The term "chintz” is related to a Sanskrit word meaning “coloured” or “spotted," and now refers to any cotton or linen furnishing fabric with a pattern, but initially would have been used to describe light, cotton fabrics created in India for the English market.
