About this fabric

Perseus Antique Red from the Chilgrove collection by Colefax and Fowler is a fabric with a repeat of approximately V 56cm / H 136cm and a width of approximately 136cm. Its composition of 49% viscose, 26% linen, 8% polyester and 17% cotton gives the cloth a refined woven handle with enough body for upholstery. In this colourway, the antique red ground reads warm and slightly weathered rather than bright, which softens the strong geometric pattern. Navy, cream and muted green accents sharpen the design without losing the traditional, old-world character. The result is a fabric that feels richly detailed and substantial, with fire code √BM and care code Q 8 + T 3.

How to use it

Use this colourway on an upholstered sofa, ottoman or pair of dining chairs where the antique red can anchor the room. It pairs especially well with dark timber, worn leather and restrained neutrals that let the pattern do the talking.

A richly patterned statement fabric that works beautifully on formal seating or a standout armchair.

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.
