The V&A Coromandel Coast tableware collection features a beautiful chintz pattern from an original cotton hanging, imported from India & featuring in the Victoria & Albert Museums collection. Indian chintzes for the western market were popular in the seventeenth & eighteenth centuries for both clothing & interior decor. The floral decoration featured on the range is taken from the border of a spectacular wall hanging or bedcover from the Coromandel Coast. The floral motifs used were often taken from western paintings, prints, embroideries & ceramic pieces, tailoring the design to the particular market.
