A RARE QUANTITY OF ENGLISH BLOCK PRINTED GLAZED CHINTZ
This type of gothic architectural pattern became fashionable in the early 1800s. Princess Amelia (1783-1810), the youngest daughter of King George III, was noted to have ordered a window blind in a 'Gothic Windows' fabric in 1807. The design remained fashionable and available throughout the 1830s and 1840s as the Gothic Revival in architecture and design was underway. For similar examples see the 'Gothick Windows' furnishing fabric examples (circa 1830) in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum (accession nos. T.354-1972, T.239-1963 and T.308-1966).
