Lucania Ebony is a near-black woven textile with a warm brown cast and a finely broken horizontal surface. Its dense, understated texture gives the dark shade visible depth rather than a flat appearance.

About this fabric

The close-up shows a deep ebony brown-black ground threaded with fine, irregular horizontal flecks that soften the intensity of the colour. At 267 gsm, it has a substantial mid-weight handle suited to both upholstery and drapery. The 140 cm usable width supports practical cutting, while the 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeats make it straightforward to position without matching a motif. The supplied standard length is 40 metres.

How to use it

Use Lucania Ebony to ground a room with a warm near-black accent: upholster a clean-lined chair or sofa, or use it for curtains where the subtly variegated weave can temper the darkness. Pair it with warm timber, aged brass and lighter natural textiles to keep the brown undertone visible.

Use this deep brown-black woven shade to add quiet depth to upholstered seating, cushions or full-length curtains.

Pairs well with

Lucania Ebony 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.
