Spectrum Antique has a subdued antique-taupe ground with a fine, closely woven surface that shifts gently across the swatch. Its low-contrast texture keeps the colour calm and softly dimensional rather than flat.

About this fabric

This 271 gsm Clarke & Clarke fabric has a compact woven texture, visible as delicate tonal movement across the muted taupe surface. The colour sits between warm beige and soft grey, with a weathered depth that reads especially gently in the even light of the swatch. A 36.5 cm vertical repeat and 34.5 cm horizontal repeat give the design a small-scale rhythm, although the pattern remains understated at a glance. The 137 cm usable width makes Spectrum Antique suitable for both upholstery and drapery applications.

How to use it

Use Spectrum Antique on a tailored armchair, dining seat or relaxed curtain where its softened taupe tone can bridge warm timber, stone and grey-beige finishes. Pair it with woven neutrals and aged brass for a quietly considered scheme.

A quietly textured antique taupe for coordinated upholstery, curtains and layered neutral schemes.

Spectrum 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.
