Chester FabricF4854-04

Chester Silver shows a finely mottled animal-style pattern in a soft, silvered cream ground. The tiny mark-making gives the cloth a calm, textural look rather than a strong contrast.

About this fabric

This Chester fabric has a small-scale animal motif that reads gently across the surface, with the pale silver-beige spots sitting close to the ground for a restrained effect. The composition is 44% viscose, 36% linen, 16% polyester, 3% cotton and 1% polyacrylic, which helps explain its natural-looking texture and softly dry handle. At approximately 145cm wide with a vertical repeat of 36cm and horizontal repeat of 35cm, it is suited to carefully planned upholstery or drapery schemes. Chester Silver feels cool-toned and understated, with just enough pattern definition to add interest without dominating a room. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for reference.

How to use it

Use Chester Silver on a tailored armchair, blind or full-length curtain where its muted cream ground can lift darker woods and stone finishes. It works especially well in rooms that need pattern, but in the quietest possible tone.

A quiet, silvered neutral that works beautifully on upholstery or elegant drapery.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Chester Silver 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.
