Ruskin Silver is a softly luminous silver-grey with a barely-there damask pattern that reads quietly from across the room. The design has an airy, polished feel, with the motif just visible as the light moves over the cloth.

About this fabric

Woven in a blend of 53% viscose, 25% linen and 22% cotton, Ruskin Silver has a gentle sheen and a lightly dry, natural handle that suits both curtains and upholstery. The pale silver ground is softened rather than stark, while the tonal pattern sits just a shade deeper, giving the surface a calm layered look. Its repeat measures V 64cm / H 36cm approx and the motif appears as a medium-scale damask that stays decorative without feeling busy. At 142cm wide, it offers a practical width for larger furnishings, and the overall effect is cool, restrained and tailored. Care code Q 8 : T 3 and fire code √CM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Ruskin Silver where you want a light-reflecting neutral that still carries pattern, especially on full-length curtains, occasional chairs or a sofa in a cool-toned room. It pairs neatly with chalk white, pale oak and deeper slate accents.

A refined silver-grey that lifts easily into calm, tailored schemes.

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