Imperiale Ebony combines an ebony-black ground with tightly packed beige scrolling motifs, creating a richly patterned woven surface. The fine tonal contrast gives the design depth without introducing bright colour.

About this fabric

This 253gsm fabric has a visibly textured woven handle, with dark ebony lines defining the pale beige damask and paisley-like forms. Its usable width is 144 cm, while the pattern repeats every 24.5 cm vertically and 24 cm horizontally. The compact repeat creates an almost continuous ornamental field rather than widely spaced motifs. The 40 m standard length is suited to planning larger coordinated fabric requirements.

How to use it

Use Imperiale Ebony where the room needs a strong, formal pattern in a restrained palette: it will sit comfortably against warm ivory, stone and dark timber. The ebony ground can also give upholstered pieces a more graphic outline while the beige motifs soften the overall effect.

Use the ebony-and-beige contrast to bring definition to upholstery or softly structured curtains.

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