Dancing Alice Jet

Name: Dancing Alice Jet
Brand: Art of the Loom
SKU: DNCNGALCJET

Dancing Alice Jet sets pale, clustered blossoms against a near-black ground, with slender branching stems sweeping diagonally across the repeat. Fine vertical striations give the dark field visible depth rather than a flat appearance.

About this fabric

The colourway is predominantly ink-black and charcoal, punctuated by warm ivory flowers, white stems and tiny ochre-gold details. Blossom clusters vary in size along the curving branches, creating a lively pattern across the deep ground. The softly irregular vertical texture catches the light in narrow bands, adding depth to the almost monochrome surface. No performance features or further specification data are noted for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this dark, cool-toned floral on a statement armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard, where the ivory blossoms can be picked out with warm neutral textiles. Pair it with charcoal, aged timber and small touches of ochre to echo the accents in the branches.

A dramatic black floral upholstery with ivory blossoms and subtle ochre detailing.

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.
