Floral Fancies - Treasured Chintz
This beautiful 18th century cotton was wood-block printed by hand in France. It speaks to generations of craftspeople and a love of textile savoir-faire shared by India and France. The Treasured Chintz was discovered by a vintage textile expert who works in the Flea Market in Paris and she was so excited to show me. I just couldn’t resist temptation, there’s over 200 years of history, heritage and beauty woven into the fabric - I had to keep a little piece for myself! We chose a rich selection of deep blues, vintage reds and warm ecru to embellish and embroider the gorgeous, delicate flowers and foliage blossoming on a deep aubergine background.
The fabric measures 40cm x 40cm and comes with 6 skeins of Soie d’Alger spun silk embroidery floss and 1 length of vintage silk embroidery ribbon that measures 3 metres.
You can continue your Floral Fancies embroidered adventures by adding more silk threads and ribbon when you place your order. Simply select Floral Fancies - Silk Ribbon & Threads* in Treasured Chintz and we will add the extra silk threads and ribbon you need to your parcel. Magnifique!
*Floral Fancies - Silk Ribbon & Threads comes with an additional 6 skeins of Soie d’Alger spun silk embroidery floss and an additional length of vintage silk embroidery ribbon that measures 3 metres.
These four pieces really are textile treasures and I was very lucky to find them! I hope they bring you joy and the exquisite pleasure of owning a piece of French textile history.
