ROS07-1
A fragment of hand painted calico, made for the western market, Coromandel Coast, 18th century India c. 1760. Depicting the procession of an important gentleman in a horse drawn carriage being escorted by saber wielding escorts on horseback and heralded by bugle playing servants on foot. From the end of the seventeenth century and through the 18th century painted and printed chintz became extremely fashionable for costume. This panel most probably came from a petticoat, intended for the patterned underskirts in Holland or England worn with open robes of the period. Exquisitely worked panels such as these were ordered in Europe and brought back via the East India Companies. The western influences can clearly be seen in the costumes worn by the figures, which, especially of the central figure drawn in a carriage, are very European. European hunting dogs also portray the western influence. However the Moghul influences can be seen through the men following the carriage, on horseback with their Persian sabers drawn and wearing Persian style hats.

TPES06-2
An exceptional and rare 18th century English quilt in Oriental style. Embroidered cotton quilted centre completed by an embroidered and coil couched border on vivid satin ground. The combination of vivid Orientalist embroidery (influenced by Indian embroideries of the 18th century) with the very traditional English under-stated quilted ivory silk ground makes this piece outstanding. The small size of the central quilted panel may suggest that it was originally constructed for use as a bearing cloth at a Christening or used on a cradle. The silks of the quilted ground show signs of wear unlike the border and embroidery and it is probable that these were added to the coverlet at a slightly later date. It is possible that a cradle quilt was enlarged to celebrate a marriage, as the child became an adult.
