Ambrose Dove

Ambrose Dove is a quietly luminous sheer with a soft dove-cream cast and an easy, relaxed drape. The fabric reads light and breathable, with a subtle natural texture that catches the light rather than blocking it.

About this fabric

Woven in 58% linen, 29% viscose and 13% wool, Ambrose Dove has the airy character expected of a wide sheer, with an approximate 300cm width and no visible repeat. In the image, the colour sits between warm ivory and pale stone, giving the cloth a calm, slightly chalky softness. The surface shows fine slubbing and a gentle linen grain, so the light breaks across it with a natural, understated texture. With care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code Z, it is presented as a practical decorative sheer for window dressing.

How to use it

Use this soft dove cream colourway for full-height curtains where you want daylight to filter through with a mellow, polished glow. It pairs especially well with limewashed walls, pale oak, and muted taupe upholstery.

A light, airy sheer that softens a room with quiet warmth.

Pairs well with

Ambrose Dove 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.
