About this fabric

This fabric is composed of 54% viscose and 46% linen, giving the design a softly structured handle that sits comfortably between decorative drapery and light upholstery use. The large repeat, at approximately V 63cm / H 124cm, is visible in the balanced damask motif and makes the pattern feel spacious rather than busy. In this Old Blue colourway, the blue is muted and slightly powdery, paired with warm taupe accents and a pale cream ground that keeps the overall effect calm and airy. The surface visible in the image has a subtle woven texture, which helps soften the symmetry of the design and gives it a more relaxed, lived-in finish. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for reference.

How to use it

Use Old Blue with painted wood, pale oak and linen upholstery to keep the palette fresh and refined. It also works well in a formal sitting room where the cool blue damask can be balanced by warm neutrals and brass details.

A refined damask with a cool, washed blue that feels elegant rather than stark.

Pairs well with

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