During the 19th century production was taken over by more modern mechanised printers. Increasing demand in Europe led to many fabric printers being set up in Amsterdam alone in 1750 there were some 80 printers and polishers, but by 1816 only a single printer, ‘Overtooms Welvaren’ remained, to be sold and shut down the following year. If you are wondering where the name chintz comes from, it is fairly readily explained by comparing it with the original Indian description for this sort of floral cotton material, “chitti”, meaning calico. In the 18th century a new printing method was developed in West Europe which meant that the original chintzes could be reproduced, putting an end to imports from India.
The characteristic sheen was applied to the cotton fabric not merely to given the appearance of the silken materials of the time, but of course also to resist dirt and moisture. A feature of the original cotton chintz is the low shine which was obtained by calendering using rice water and stone polishing. Various parts of traditional Dutch costume were made in this chintz. We know the end result as the cotton chintz which was used in particular in West European interiors and the clothing and costume of that period. The original native patterns were adapted to suit European fashion, taste and purchaser under the supervision of the VOC. These cotton fabrics were brought to the Netherlands by the merchants of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) from the Dutch settlements on the Coromandel coast of India.
