The
Origins of Oriental Chintz Design
by John Irwin, Antiques, The Magazine, January 1959, 4 pages, 8 good size pictures, B&W, of 17th century
chintz and palampores. He is THE researcher on chintz. "This
article compresses the result of detailed research over a long period by
Mr. Irwin, who is deputy keeper of the Indian section of the Victoria
& Albert Museum, London." Eventually he wrote the book
"The Origins of Chintz" which is almost impossible to find or
afford these days.
This issue also has a short piece on
Baroque textiles from an exhibition at the Scalamandre Museum of
Textiles, with 3 B&W pictures.
It shows some wear at the top and bottom
of the binding, but is fully in tact and clean from marks. Cover is not
faded. Cover has a few rings on it . 119 pages total.
Price: US $25.00 plus shipping: your mode of

English
Printed Textiles, Postscript: New Discoveries
by Peter Floud; Antiques, The Magazine, April 1958, 4
pages of text with 11 B&W pictures of chintz made with copperplate
technique in the 17th century . From John Nixon's Printworks and others
in England, the Wares and John Munns. "The purpose of this
additional article is to draw attention to some of the earliest and most
interesting of these new examples, none of which appears to have been
illustrated before." This article came after the Floud series in
1957, as these textiles had not yet been uncovered.
Other articles of interest in this issue
are: "Wallpapers used in America, 1700-1800" by Horace L.
Hotchkiss, Jr.; "The Decorative Arts in French Museums" by
Ruth Davidson; Shop Talk shows two chintz panels, two hooked rugs and
wallpaper hand blocked in France which could be ordered in toile.
The magazine is fully in tact, no tears, color
cover not faded. I bought it with water damage near the top, rippled the
pages, but isn't bad and doesn't ruin any text or pictures. 97 pgs.
