About this fabric

This colourway is a deep Chianti red, moving between vivid wine and darker burgundy in the subtle tonal variation of the surface. The close-up shows a soft, cloudy texture rather than a defined printed motif, allowing the rich colour to remain the focus. The supplied record lists no composition, width, rub test or performance features. Visually, its plush-looking handle and depth make it a natural upholstery consideration, subject to confirming the technical specification.

How to use it

Use Alpha Chianti on a statement armchair, headboard or footstool where its saturated wine tone can bring warmth and depth to a room. Pair it with aged timber, antique brass and quieter neutral textiles to let the softly mottled red remain the focal colour.

Pairs well with

Alpha Chianti is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
