Marius Red
Marius FabricF4840-04
Marius in Red presents a classic damask in a warm, brick-red ground with softly glinting gold patterning. The ornate motif feels richly traditional, with the lighter design standing out clearly against the deeper woven base.

About this fabric
This Colefax and Fowler fabric is woven in a refined blend of 40% Linen, 36% Viscose and 24% Silk, giving the surface a subtly luminous finish rather than a flat matte look. The 142cm width and approximate 71cm vertical and horizontal repeat suit large-scale upholstery or drapery pieces where the full damask can be shown to advantage. In this colourway, the red reads as earthy and slightly softened, while the paler motif catches the light with a muted antique-gold effect. The texture appears textural and substantial enough for both curtains and statement furniture, with a decorative formality that feels confident and established.
How to use it
Use Marius Red on upholstered armchairs, a headboard or lined drapes where the warm red ground can bring depth to a room. It works especially well with dark timber, worn brass and neutral wall colours that let the damask pattern remain the focus.
Pair with antique woods and aged metallics to let the warm red ground and soft gold patterning feel rich rather than overpowering.

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