About this fabric
This Manuel Canovas fabric is 100% cotton and measures approx. 137cm wide, with a vertical repeat of 107cm and horizontal repeat of 137cm, so the full scenic composition is designed to unfold generously. The colourway sits on a pale cream base that lets the red architecture, black roof outlines and touches of green stand out with particular clarity. The printed figures and pavilion motifs feel bright but not harsh, creating a balanced contrast against the soft ground. With no performance features noted, it suits decorative upholstery or drapery where the pattern can be fully appreciated.
How to use it
Pair this rouge de Chine colourway with lacquered woods, parchment tones and a little black detail to echo the print’s crisp outlines. It works especially well in rooms that can handle a bold, collected look, such as a drawing room or statement bedroom.
Use with plain linens or dark timber for a vivid, decorative statement.
Pairs well with
A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Madame Butterfly Rouge de Chine 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.
