The Duchess of York has had [mach chintz utilised both in her London and Windsor homes, es- pecially in the nurseries, where it is quilted blue in the one, case, and quilted pink in the other.
Old-fashioned. harmonious chintzes, such as the celebrated Queen Anne chinta at Knole, which has about sixteen bright| colours in it, have been repro-Į duced for modern fumiture coverings, and recently the shintz from a famous, Wiltshire - home was copied specially for a bride's Dew house.
One reason for the return of the chintz to fashion is that dur- ing the last few years amazing] improvements have been wrought| with English chintzes by North of England; inanufacturers In- stead of making it from hand- blocks they have subjected it süc- cessfully to superior methods of roller printing. It has become pos- sible also to copy in soft, restful) tones of green, blue, or pink the patterns used in Georgian houses which favoured chintzes so much that it was said that an eigh- teenth-century English house without chintz was like "Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark" In bygone times backgrounds" had to be plain white instead of the gentle shades in which modern colourists rejoice.
