Peveril Old Blue shows a softly worn damask pattern in pale blue and ivory, with the motif sitting gently on a light ground. The overall effect is calm and airy rather than bold, letting the pattern read as texture from a distance and detail up close.

About this fabric

This Chilgrove fabric from Colefax and Fowler is woven in 60% Linen, 30% Cotton and 10% Polyamide, giving the cloth a natural-looking body with a slightly dry, crisp handle. The design has an approximate vertical repeat of 62cm and horizontal repeat of 70cm, which creates a measured, classical rhythm across the surface. In this Peveril Old Blue colourway, the blue appears softened and powdery, with a cool, faded quality that keeps the damask from feeling heavy. The ivory ground lifts the pattern and makes the weave read quietly rather than heavily, while the fire code √BM and care code Q 8 + T 3 are listed for specification reference.

How to use it

Its pale, weathered blue tone works beautifully with chalky whites, pale oak and worn silver finishes. Use it where you want a traditional damask to feel light, crisp and slightly understated rather than richly formal.

Use it for refined upholstery or elegant curtains where the pale blue pattern can breathe against a light ground.

Pairs well with

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