About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, this fabric has a natural, slightly slubby texture that suits its relaxed antique look. The design repeats at approximately V 59cm / H 141cm, with a broad, tapestry-like layout that lets the trailing stems and layered flowers breathe across the width. In this colourway, the pink ground reads dusty and subdued, lifting the greens and blue-greens without making the palette feel sharp. It is a decorative fabric with enough visual presence for statement drapery, cushions or occasional upholstery. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

The soft old pink ground works beautifully with painted timber, aged brass and warm neutrals, especially where you want the florals to feel collected rather than formal. Pair it with mossy greens and chalky creams to echo the print's gentle, garden-like palette.

Use for elegant upholstery or curtains where the muted pink ground can soften a room.

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.
