About this fabric

This colourway of Evesham has a distinctly muted old blue cast rather than a bright or nautical blue, so the pattern reads soft and atmospheric. The 54% viscose and 46% silk composition gives it a smooth, gently lustrous finish that suits the delicate handling visible in the floral detailing. The repeat is approximately V 76cm / H 65cm, which supports the generous scale of the blossoms and winding stems across the 130cm width. The embroidered-style flowers in ivory, taupe, and green keep the ground cool and elegant, while the silk content adds a subtle sheen as the light moves over the surface.

How to use it

Use it for curtains, Roman blinds, or statement cushions where the old blue ground can sit against chalky paintwork and natural wood. It pairs especially well with soft greens, faded cream, and aged brass for a restrained, classic room.

Elegant for curtains or light decorative upholstery, with a cool blue-grey ground that keeps the floral embroidery feeling refined.

Pairs well with

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