Chester FabricF4854-06

Chester Gold shows a petite animal-style pattern across a warm, softly muted gold ground. The motif reads close and textural, giving the fabric a lively surface without strong contrast.

About this fabric

This colourway has a mellow antique-gold tone with beige undertones, so the pattern feels restrained rather than bold. The small-scale repeat, at approximately V 36cm / H 35cm, creates a close, all-over effect that works well when you want movement without a large motif. With a composition of 44% viscose, 36% linen, 16% polyester, 3% cotton and 1% polyacrylic, it has the feel of a woven decorative fabric rather than a flat print. At approximately 145cm wide and with no performance features noted, it is best treated as a classic furnishing textile; care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for reference.

How to use it

Use Chester Gold on a chair, banquette or headboard where the warm gold ground can lift timber, travertine or deep brown finishes. It also works neatly with olive, tobacco and cream schemes, where the small pattern adds texture rather than visual noise.

A warm, refined gold that adds pattern without overpowering a room.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Chester Gold without fighting it. 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.
