About this fabric

Woven at 300gsm, Martello Antique has the substance to work across both upholstery and drapery. The close plain weave is visibly enlivened by fine vertical and horizontal threads, giving the otherwise pattern-free surface a tactile, lightly crosshatched character. Its antique ochre tone is subdued rather than bright, with darker brown flecks and softly uneven shading adding depth. The fabric has a 144cm usable width, a 40m standard length and no vertical or horizontal pattern repeat.

How to use it

Pair this muted ochre-brown with chalky creams, tobacco leather and softened olive for a warm, collected scheme. Its quiet texture also suits full-length curtains where the earthy tone can read deeper in folds.

Use this warm, weathered ochre-brown weave to bring depth to upholstery, curtains or layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Martello 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.
