Ceres Ivory is a softly lustrous plain silk in a gentle ivory cream tone. The surface reads calm and fine, with a subtle slub and a light-catching finish that gives the colour a quiet depth.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% silk and measuring approximately 137cm wide, Ceres Ivory has a smooth, lightly textured handle with no visible repeat, making the effect depend entirely on its weave and sheen. The colour is a warm ivory rather than a stark white, with creamy undertones that soften the fabric’s overall look. In this swatch the finish appears restrained and elegant, with just enough natural variation in the silk to keep the surface alive. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this ivory silk where you want light to feel softened rather than reflected hard: it works beautifully for refined curtains, Roman blinds, or decorative upholstery on occasional pieces. Its warm cream tone pairs well with pale oak, chalky paint colours, and classic upholstery trims.

A refined, quiet silk for elegant curtains or occasional upholstery in softer-use schemes.

Ceres Ivory 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.
