Selva Antique/Gold

Exotica 2 Fabric FabricCCF0685-01

Selva Antique/Gold has a burnished ochre-gold ground that gives the dense leaf design a warm, aged character. Fine dark outlines and muted blue-green accents bring definition to the closely woven surface.

About this fabric

The cloth reads as antique gold with copper-brown depth, creating a warm, mellow tone rather than a bright yellow metallic. Tightly packed overlapping leaves are traced in charcoal-black and subdued blue-green, producing a richly detailed all-over botanical pattern. At 574 gsm and 138 cm usable width, this is a substantial textile with a strong upholstery presence. The pattern repeats every 36 cm vertically and 34.5 cm horizontally, while the standard length is 30 m for larger upholstery projects.

How to use it

Use the warm antique-gold ground to bring depth to a statement armchair, headboard or sofa, pairing it with dark timber, aged brass and muted blue-green accents that echo the leaf outlines.

A richly textured antique-gold botanical weave suited to statement upholstery and occasional furniture.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Selva Antique/Gold 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.
