Lanark Plaid Old Blue

Erskine Wools FabricF2616-12

Lanark Plaid Old Blue pairs a soft blue-grey ground with тонal tan and pale blue checks, giving the plaid a calm, misty look. The finish reads woolly and quiet rather than sharp, with the grid showing clearly without feeling busy.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% wool, this Colefax and Fowler fabric has an approximate width of 138cm and a repeating plaid of V 11.5cm by H 12cm, which gives the pattern a measured, tailored scale. In this colourway the ground sits in a muted old blue with greyed depth, while the slender crossing lines introduce pale blue and warm tan notes. The result is a soft, cool plaid that feels settled and classic rather than bright or country-checked. The wool texture lends the surface a gentle, matte handle that suits both upholstered pieces and softer decorative uses. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use it on an armchair, banquette or curtains where the restrained blue-grey ground can calm darker timbers and brass details. It layers neatly with natural linens, smoked oak and chalky neutrals.

A cool, understated plaid that works beautifully on tailored upholstery or relaxed drapery.

Pairs well with

Lanark Plaid Old Blue is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
