Acantha Silver presents a graceful damask in softened silver-grey, with pale blue and ivory detailing that keeps the design light rather than stark. The repeating floral forms read clearly across the width, giving the pattern a composed, traditional character.

About this fabric

This colourway combines 40% viscose, 35% linen and 25% cotton, giving the cloth a pleasingly natural handle with a refined surface. At approximately 129cm wide, Acantha Silver is shown here with a large repeat of about V 76cm / H 65cm, which suits the generous scale of the damask and its mirrored, decorative rhythm. The ground is a muted silver-grey, while the motif is worked in soft blue, cream and taupe-brown tones, so the overall effect stays cool and airy. The visible texture appears smooth and lightly woven rather than heavy or plush, making the pattern feel crisp and elegant. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Acantha Silver where you want a formal pattern without a dark backdrop: it works especially well against pale painted woodwork, stone, or muted blue-grey walls. The silver base and cool accents make it a strong choice for elegant sitting rooms, tailored headboards, or layered drapery schemes.

A refined silver-grey damask that brings a calm, elegant lift to classic interiors.

Pairs well with

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