About this fabric

This Harvard II colourway is woven in 100% wool and is approximately 140cm wide, with no visible repeat in either direction. The swatch shows a plain surface with a fine, slightly brushed texture that softens the brown into a warm chestnut shade rather than a flat dark brown. Under light, the cloth holds a low, matte sheen and a gently variegated depth that makes the colour feel full but restrained. With Q 8 + T 3 care coding and √BH fire performance noted, it is a practical choice for refined furnishing projects.

How to use it

Use this tone on a sofa, club chair, or bench where you want a classic brown with enough richness to sit comfortably alongside oak, leather, and brass. It also works well for tailored cushions in a warm neutral scheme, adding depth without looking overly heavy.

A warm chestnut wool that brings depth and polish to seating or tailored cushions.

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.
