Chester FabricF4863-05

Clancey Red shows Chester’s small geometric weave in a warm, softened red that reads more bricky than bright. The tiny diamond repeat gives the surface a refined, textural grain.

About this fabric

Woven in a 64% viscose, 21% linen, 8% cotton, 4% polyamide and 3% polyacrylic blend, Clancey Red has a crisp yet lightly textured handle that suits tailored furnishings. The repeat is a compact V 4cm / H 4cm approx, creating a neat all-over diamond pattern that feels orderly rather than busy. At approx. 144cm wide, it is a practical width for upholstery projects where a small-scale design is wanted. The colour is a muted red with earthy terracotta undertones, so it feels warm and grounded rather than vivid or glossy. Fire code √BM and care code Q 8 + T 3 are supplied for specification purposes.

How to use it

Use this shade on a sofa, occasional chair or cushion where the small repeat can add interest without overpowering the room. It sits well with oak, walnut, worn leather and soft stone colours.

Pair with earthy neutrals or deep wood tones for a tailored, quietly traditional look.

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.
