About this fabric

Shown here as a plain, softly textured cloth, Novara Antique has a subdued antique-gold tone that reads warm and grounded rather than bright or metallic. At 175 gsm and 290 cm usable width, its relatively light, broad format points naturally to drapery. There is no visible motif, and the supplied pattern-repeat measurements are 0 cm vertically and horizontally, so the colour reads continuously across the cloth. The standard length is 40 m, supporting planning across long curtain drops with minimal visual interruption.

How to use it

Use Novara Antique for full-height curtains where its muted ochre-gold tone can add warmth without becoming saturated. Balance it with chalky neutrals, aged timber or soft brown upholstery to keep the scheme earthy and composed.

A softly textured antique-gold plain weave for calm, tonal curtains and relaxed contemporary rooms.

Pairs well with

Novara 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.
