Name: Clarence Gold
Brand: Colefax and Fowler

Sandford FabricF4898-08

Clarence Gold has a warm, softly aged gold ground that reads more mellow than bright, with the tiny all-over motif settling into the cloth rather than sitting sharply on top. The effect is refined and textured, with a gentle shimmer created by the contrast between the creamy base and the ochre-gold detail.

About this fabric

This Clarence Gold colourway from the Sandford collection is woven in 86% Cotton and 14% Polyester, with an approximate width of 136cm and a repeat of V 16cm / H 22cm. The fabric shows a fine, densely spaced pattern in muted gold against a pale ivory-beige ground, giving the surface a dry, tailored look rather than a glossy finish. The overall tone is warm and restrained, with enough depth in the motif to add interest but not so much contrast that it feels busy. With no performance features noted and a fire code of √BH, it reads as a decorative textile suited to classic interiors.

How to use it

Use this soft antique gold on upholstered pieces or relaxed curtains where you want a gentle warmth that sits comfortably beside oak, stone and aged brass. It pairs especially well with cream walls, tobacco leather and deeper green accents.

Works beautifully when you want a quiet metallic warmth without too much sheen.

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