Inspired by early eighteenth-century European designs, this rare Indian chintz is quilted and lined with Chinese silk. This type of bold, elaborate strapwork and cartouche designs\u2014here in vibrant hues of red, yellow, blue, and pink\u2014can be traced to late seventeenth-century French designers, notably Daniel Marot (1665\u20131720). A French Huguenot immigrant to the Netherlands, Marot popularized this ornate Rococo style in Holland and England. A Dutch East India Company merchant active on India\u2019s Coromandel Coast who had access to European pattern books probably commissioned the textile. While likely intended as a bed quilt, this piece was found in Japan, where it was used most recently as a tea-ceremony carpet.cat. no. 36Free picture Quilt or Carpet integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
