Lucerne Old Blue

Lucerne Silks FabricF3931-17

Lucerne Old Blue is a softly glowing silk with a cool, misted blue appearance and a very fine, understated weave. The surface catches the light gently, giving the colour a calm, airy lift rather than a strong sheen.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% silk, Lucerne Old Blue has a smooth, delicate handle and a narrow 138cm width, with no visible repeat in the design. The cloth reads as a pale, powdery blue with a faint grey cast, so it feels restrained rather than bright or icy. Its subtle sheen and close weave give the swatch a refined, lightly lustrous finish that suits elegant interior schemes. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this colourway where you want softness and lightness: full-length curtains, relaxed interlining, or a calm backdrop for painted woodwork and pale upholstery. Its misty blue tone pairs especially well with chalk white, silvered greys, and weathered oak.

A quietly luminous silk for elegant curtains or refined decorative accents.

Pairs well with

Lucerne Old Blue 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.
