Tristram Old Pink

Hamlin FabricF4726-09

Tristram Old Pink is a quietly tailored herringbone with a soft dusty-rose cast and a crisp, fine overall texture. The small-scale zigzag reads neatly from a distance and gives the colourway a calm, upholstered look.

About this fabric

Woven in a 143cm approx width, this fabric combines 25% Linen, 22% Cotton, 21% Viscose, 16% Polyester, 11% Wool and 5% Polyamide, giving the cloth a grounded, slightly dry handle with a subtle softening from the mixed yarns. The repeat is very restrained at V 0cm / H 1cm approx, so the small herringbone pattern sits close to the surface rather than dominating it. In this Old Pink colourway, the tone is muted and warm, sitting between blush and clay with a gentle chalky depth that keeps it sophisticated rather than sugary. The fine diagonal chevron effect adds movement without visual noise, making the cloth feel tidy and tailored. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √CH are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use it on a classic armchair, banquette or bench seat where the soft pink-brown tone can warm timber and brass. It would also make elegant curtains in a room that needs colour with a subdued, heritage feel.

A refined dusty pink that works beautifully on tailored upholstery or soft curtains.

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.
