Hector Silver

Hector FabricF4697-04

Hector Silver is a pale, cool grey linen with a fine chevron-like texture that reads quietly tailored rather than stark. The closely worked weave gives the surface a soft, chalky depth in the light.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen and measuring approximately 139cm wide, Hector Silver has a restrained, small-scale pattern with a vertical repeat of 0cm and a horizontal repeat of about 2cm. The fabric shows a delicate herringbone effect in soft silver grey, with tiny diagonal lines that lift the surface without creating strong contrast. Its finish looks dry and slightly matte, which suits the natural character of linen and keeps the colourway feeling fresh and airy. With care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM, it is a practical decorative cloth as well as an elegant one.

How to use it

Use Hector Silver to bring a cool, polished note to upholstered dining chairs, occasional seating or relaxed curtains. Its pale metallic-grey tone works especially well with white woodwork, limestone, and deeper navy or charcoal accents.

A cool silver linen that feels crisp and understated on both seats and curtains.

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