“CHINTZ” на русском языке

имя существительное

ситец

chintz print

Because treasures from China have been used in decorating for centuries around the world, they will provide a nice counterbalance to a room with chintz fabrics, or a room with loads of antiques.

Literally denoting a style of printed fabric, usually glazed and characterised by floral patterns, chintz mutated into a generic term in the Nineties, one usually uttered with an accompanying sneer.

There is no floral chintz , no shelves packed with knick-knacks; there's no ornate wrought iron, no statuary, no bookshelves.

a sofa upholstered in chintz

One half of the floor is covered in Persian rugs with chintz armchairs and red velvet couches, scattered haphazardly around the room, all covered in shawls and scarves and beaded afghans.
