Toucan Antique

Toucan Antique brings a densely illustrated tropical scene to an antique cream ground, with toucans, other birds and layered foliage arranged in a richly coloured repeat. Teal and leafy greens provide the depth, while coral-red botanical accents add warmth across the design.

About this fabric

The antique cream background keeps this colourway light, while dark green palms, teal foliage, charcoal leaves and coral-red fan shapes create a deep, lively jungle composition. Fine botanical marks in pale yellow and muted blue sit between the larger birds and leaves, giving the surface a detailed, painterly appearance. Its 68.5 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat makes the large-scale arrangement a clear feature on upholstered or curtained surfaces. At 327 gsm and with a 137 cm usable width, it offers a versatile mid-weight fabric for both upholstery and drapery.

How to use it

Use Toucan Antique on a statement chair, headboard or full-length curtains where its antique cream ground can brighten the room without losing the drama of the teal, green and coral foliage. Balance the busy pattern with plain linen, warm timber and dark green or charcoal accents.

Use the antique cream ground to soften the dense teal, green, coral and charcoal jungle artwork.

Pairs well with

Toucan 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.
