Francis Antique/Charcoal layers antique-gold flowers and charcoal foliage across a softly creamy ground. The closely packed botanical drawing has a muted, timeworn character rather than a bright or high-contrast finish.

About this fabric

The detailed floral design combines pale cream blossoms, warm antique-gold petals and leaves, and charcoal-grey botanical accents, with occasional deeper brown shading adding depth. At 204 gsm, this is a versatile mid-weight fabric suited to both upholstery and drapery applications. It has a 138 cm usable width and a 40 m standard length. The pattern repeats every 45.7 cm vertically and 34.5 cm horizontally, creating a consistently dense surface when joined.

How to use it

Use this colourway to bring softened golden warmth into a neutral room, pairing it with charcoal-painted details, aged timber and creamy plain linens. Its compact floral scale works particularly well on curtains, cushions, occasional chairs or a coordinated window seat.

A versatile mid-weight floral for curtains, cushions, occasional upholstery and other decorative applications.

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.
