Persian Wood Sapphire unfolds as a richly detailed scenic textile in softened sapphire blue, with branching foliage, palms, flowering plants and small mounted figures layered across the surface. Its hazy, timeworn palette gives the elaborate scene a calm, collected character.

About this fabric

The ground reads as a cool, dusty blue rather than a bright jewel tone, with olive foliage, faded stone-grey areas and restrained coral-red flowers adding depth. Close-set botanical detail fills the design, while palms, birds, animals and riders create the impression of an expansive pastoral landscape. The visible textile surface has a subtle woven grain that gently breaks up the colour and keeps the large-scale scene from feeling flat. Catalogued as a fabric, this versatile mid-weight appearance makes it suitable for both upholstery and drapery.

How to use it

Pair the weathered sapphire ground with warm timber, aged brass and quiet stone upholstery, or use it for full-length curtains where the repeated landscape can read as a softly faded mural. Echo the small coral flowers with restrained terracotta accents rather than introducing a competing bright colour.

Use this softly weathered sapphire scenic design to bring layered colour and an archival feel to upholstery or curtains.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Persian Wood Sapphire without fighting it. 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.
