More details
This machine-printed cotton twill textile was produced between 1940 and 1960. This textile uses a traditional chintz design of large scale, naturalistic roses on a dark background. Designs such as this offered British consumers an alternative to the bold, contemporary patterns that were increasingly popular after the Second World War. This particular material would have been used for furnishings.
