Ashmore Duckegg has a cool, pale duck-egg blue ground crossed by fine cream herringbone lines. The tightly woven surface gives the repeating chevron pattern a softly tactile, quietly dimensional finish.

About this fabric

This Clarke & Clarke Heritage fabric weighs 536gsm, giving the cloth a substantial woven presence suited to upholstery. Its 95cm vertical repeat and 35cm horizontal repeat form orderly columns of small, angled chevrons rather than a bold, oversized motif. The blue is muted and airy, while the cream threads soften the contrast and catch the light across the lightly nubby weave. It is supplied at a 137cm usable width, with a standard length of 40m.

How to use it

Use Ashmore Duckegg on a sofa, headboard or dining chair where its cool blue tone can bring freshness without becoming bright. Pair it with chalky whites, pale woods and soft grey-blue accents to echo the fabric’s cream flecks and restrained pattern.

A softly textured woven upholstery fabric with a cool duck-egg ground and fine cream chevron detail.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Ashmore Duckegg 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.
