Alvar Antique is a warm, muted beige textile with a softly mottled surface and quiet tonal depth. Its understated plain appearance lets the subtle movement in the weave do the visual work.

About this fabric

The 300 gsm cloth has a gently textured woven face, with fine variations in antique beige that prevent the surface from looking flat. Its warm, earthy tone reads softly rather than brightly, making the colourway feel calm and settled in changing light. At 144 cm usable width, it is practical for both upholstery and drapery applications. The design has a 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat, so there is no motif to align across joins.

How to use it

Pair Alvar Antique with warm timber, aged brass and chalky neutrals for a relaxed room scheme. Its mellow beige tone also works well as a quiet backdrop to deeper olive, rust or chocolate accents.

Use this softly mottled antique beige as a warm, understated foundation for upholstered seating, curtains or cushions.

Alvar Antique 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.
