Over 100 floral patterns adorning chintz ceramics.

Chintz ceramics were introduced in the late 19th century, and rose to great heights of popularity in the first half of the 20th century as they were exported around the world. This classic work, in its seconf edition, is better than ever for dealers and collectors. The brilliant floral bouquets adorning chintz ceramics are displayed in nearly 500 gorgeous color photographs. The major English chintz manufacturers, Royal Winton, James Kent, Lord Nelson, Shelley, Crown Ducal, and Empire, are discussed and many examples of their chintz wares are identified and shown. Over one hundred patterns are amply illustrated, including the popular DuBarry, Rosalynde, and Summertime patterns. Lesser known firms and American importers are also explored, along with the Japanese manufacturers of hand-painted chintz. Manufacturers' marks are identified and dated.

Publishers’ Binding Thursday

The best way I’ve found to find the lovely publishers’ bindings in our collection is to simply go looking for them in the stacks. Most are not identified as having publishers’ bindings in their records, and many have designs that are uncredited; so while some publishers’ binding designers like Margaret Armstrong are well-known and credited for their work, many remain unknown and unremembered. But their work is not unappreciated!

This floral publishers’ binding for One of Cleopatra’s Nights is one of those designed by an unnamed designer. However, we love the flowing design with golden irises on the left side of the cover, perhaps representing the Nile? The book also features little illustrative headpieces at the beginning of each story. This edition was published in 1906 by Brentano’s, a bookstore chain and briefly a publishing house based in New York City. 

The text is a group of short stories written by Théophile Gautier (1811-1872), a French author who wrote plays, stories, poems, and was also a journalist and art, theater, literature, and ballet critic. Gautier was well-respected as a critic but also as an author in his own right, with fans like Balzac, Baudelaire, Flaubert, Pound, Eliot, Proust and Wilde. Gautier was also well-known for his fashion, and famously wore a scarlet waistcoat. The book’s translator, Lafcadio Hearn, also had a very interesting life.

Liberty is renowned internationally for its fabrics, especially its floral patterns, but it also has a long history of developing bold, geometric designs. Many of these were inspired by early twentieth-century avant-garde art, notably by Italian Futurists, such as Giacomo Balla and Umberto Boccioni, and their English contemporaries the Vorticists, including Christopher Nevinson and Edward Wadsworth. In anticipation of Liberty's 150th anniversary, esteemed couturier and interior designer Federico Forquet has curated a striking new range of fabrics - the FuturLiberty Collection - that carries Liberty's creative heritage into our own age. The Futurist and Vorticist art that lies behind the new designs is explored by specialists Ester Coen and Richard Cork, while archivist Anna Buruma examines Liberty's rich history of avant-garde designs. By illuminating the process by which the FuturLiberty Collection came into being, this highly visual study also reveals how art can inform design, making it contemporary, relevant and engaging.
