Chintz (from the plural of chint) was originally glazed calico textiles, initially specifically those imported from India, printed with designs featuring flowers and other patterns in different colours, typically on a light plain background. Since the 19th century the term has also been used for the style of floral decoration developed in those calico textiles, but then used more widely, for example on chintzware pottery and wallpaper.
Chintz was originally a woodblock printed, painted or stained calico produced in India from 1600 to 1800 and popular for bed covers, quilts and draperies. Around 1600, Portuguese and Dutch traders were bringing examples of Indian chintz into Europe.

"Artmongers opened their new mural with a celebratory picnic and speeches, from the mayor of Lewisham, Julia King from the Orange Cafe and Artmongers. It was held on Saturday 8th September 2007. The digital mural was made with people's favourite fabrics and captions which described the reason of the attachment. It is about how all humans have a strong attachment to fabric, regardless of the cultural background, perhaps allowing us to stay calm beyond the mother's presence. The artwork is below Cafe Orange on Kitto Rd -at the top of Telegraph Hill. The cafe is open between 11am and 2pm, Monday to Friday." [The Cafe apparently closed in November 2008 - habeebee].
"[Artmongers] received funding [for this work] from Awards for All , Lewisham Council and the Orange Cafe as well as some private donations."
