Astraea Dove

Astraea Dove is a pale, cool dove-grey fabric with a finely broken, horizontal surface texture. Its softly varied light-grey ground gives the swatch a quiet, lightly weathered depth rather than a flat solid appearance.

About this fabric

The close texture creates subtle tonal movement across the dove-grey surface, with pale silver-grey flecks catching the light against a slightly deeper grey ground. At 332 gsm and 20 threads per cm, it has the visual substance of a versatile mid-weight textile suitable for both upholstery and drapery. The fabric has a 140 cm usable width and a 35 m standard length. Its listed pattern repeat is 24 cm vertically by 35 cm horizontally, although the visible design reads as an understated textural rhythm rather than a bold motif.

How to use it

Use Astraea Dove to bring a cool, softened grey layer to contemporary seating, headboards or curtains, pairing it with chalky whites, pale timber and muted silver accents. Its restrained texture adds depth without introducing a strong contrasting pattern.

Its cool, pale dove-grey tone and finely mottled texture suit tailored upholstery, cushions and softly structured window treatments.

Pairs well with

Astraea Dove 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.
