About this fabric

The design is built from pale ivory embroidery, including perched birds, open flowers, seed heads and fine leafy branches. Its warm taupe background gives the pattern a quieter, more grounded appearance than a high-contrast cream-and-white colourway, while the raised-looking motifs remain clearly defined. Repeating vertical sprays fill the surface with generous botanical detail, making the fabric read as formal and decorative at close range. The woven ground and dense embroidery give this colourway a substantial visual presence for considered upholstery or full-length drapery.

How to use it

Use Birdsong Ivory with warm timber, aged brass and natural stone to bring out the taupe ground, or pair it with chalky ivory furnishings for a softer, layered scheme. It would suit a traditionally shaped chair, upholstered headboard or decorative curtains where the botanical repeat can be appreciated.

The warm taupe ground softens the ornate ivory embroidery, while the birds and flowering vines bring a traditional decorative character to upholstery or drapery.
