Description

Featuring a smattering of blossoms, this rug is based on a French design for chintz from the 1790s. The word ‘chintz’ is thought to be a corruption of the Hindi word for spotted or speckled cloth and was used to describe the method of decorating a variety of textiles in Europe from the second half of the 17th century onwards.
