Description
Book features the enchanting beauty of French antique textiles inspired by Indian chintz. In some places in France, producers learned the process of making these beautiful printed textiles, eventually adding original patterns and becoming domestic production hubs themselves. This book showcases patterns from three museums: Toiles de Jouy, Mulhouse and Souleiado. Most patterns in this book were produced in the early era of production in France, but some are selected from the latest collections available today. Readers can discover the transition of beautiful printed textiles from East to West as well as from the 17th century to today.
