Ambrose Old Blue

Name: Ambrose Old Blue
Brand: Colefax and Fowler
SKU: F4632-01

Ambrose Old Blue is a light, airy sheer with a soft misty blue cast. In the image it reads as pale and quietly cool, allowing plenty of light to pass through while still giving the fabric a gently tailored presence.

About this fabric

This colourway shows a washed, low-contrast blue-grey tone that feels calm rather than vivid, with the linen-rich weave visible in the surface. The cloth is 300cm wide approx and composed of 58% Linen, 29% Viscose, 13% Wool, which gives it a softly textured hand and a restrained natural finish. With a vertical and horizontal repeat of 0cm approx, the design reads as a plain sheer rather than a pattern. The wide width makes it especially suitable for full-length curtains where the folds can show off the subtle tonal depth seen in the photograph.

How to use it

Use Ambrose Old Blue for breezy curtains in bedrooms, sitting rooms or layered schemes where a cool, pale blue is needed without heaviness. It pairs well with chalky whites, weathered oak and brushed metals for a light, tailored look.

A sheer, airy blue that softens daylight beautifully.

Pairs well with

Ambrose Old Blue 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.
