Dereham Silver

Oberon Sheers FabricF4745-03

Dereham Silver presents the Oberon Sheers damask in a soft, silvery palette that feels airy rather than stark. The pattern reads clearly, but the linen ground keeps the overall effect light and relaxed.

About this fabric

This colourway is woven in 100% linen, with an approximate width of 140cm and a repeat of V 49cm / H 35cm, giving the design a substantial, repeating damask presence. In Dereham Silver, the motif is softened into pale grey and warm taupe notes, so the leaves and teardrop shapes sit gently against the light ground instead of contrasting sharply. The visible linen texture adds a dry, natural character that suits the sheer, decorative quality of the cloth. With no performance features noted and a fire code of √BM, it is best appreciated as an elegant furnishing textile for windows or other light, formal layers.

How to use it

Use it for curtains in a calm neutral scheme where you want pattern without heaviness. The cool silver-grey tone sits neatly with chalky whites, pale oak, and brushed metal finishes.

A pale, elegant linen sheer that softens a room without losing pattern detail.

Pairs well with

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