Description
Quilt, anonymous, ca. 1700 - ca. 1720
On this blanket is in the center and in the four corners of the arms of the city of Amsterdam. Already in the 17th century are entries of chintz with weapons, but only in the 18th century it was common. Especially in the south of the Coromandel Coast were Indian weavers and painters products for VOC.
Chintz bedspread with an asymmetrical pattern on a white fond of thin tendrils with flowers and leaves. In the middle is depicted a large weapon of Amsterdam and a smaller arm in the corners. On a yellow oval plinth stands a crowned shield with a pole and three crosses, held by two climbing lions. Oriental textiles.
