Lucius Red/Gold shows a classic damask pattern with a softened, aged look across the surface. The design reads as warm and luminous, with gold-toned foliage lifting from a pale blush ground.

About this fabric

This colourway in Marius combines 42% linen, 38% viscose and 20% silk, giving the cloth a gentle lustre and a refined, lightly textured handle. The large-scale damask repeat is shown in soft red and antique gold tones, with the motif softened rather than sharp, so the pattern feels painterly and layered. At approximately 128cm wide, it offers good coverage for both upholstery and drapery projects where a more decorative finish is wanted. The warm blush background keeps the design airy, while the gold and rose accents add depth without making the fabric feel heavy.

How to use it

Use Lucius Red/Gold on a formal armchair, ottoman or curtains where its warm blush ground can brighten darker woodwork. It pairs well with walnut, gilt finishes and cream paint for a classic, softly romantic scheme.

The warm metallic tones suit classic rooms and layered upholstery alike.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Lucius Red/Gold 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.
