Ripley Antracite

About this fabric

The fabric has a dense, structured appearance, with small light-catching marks tracing each repeated arc across the surface. Its low-contrast pattern creates a rhythmic Art Deco-like effect without becoming visually loud, while the brown-charcoal tone gives the design considerable depth. The close construction and substantial visual weight make it best suited to upholstered pieces rather than light, fluid window treatments. No performance features or further technical specifications are noted in the supplied record.

How to use it

Use Ripley Antracite on a tailored armchair, dining chair or compact sofa where its deep brown-charcoal tone can anchor a room. Pair it with aged brass, walnut and oatmeal textiles to bring out the warmer threads within the dark ground.

Use this deep brown-charcoal shade to add graphic definition to tailored upholstery, especially alongside warm timber, bronze and soft neutral finishes.

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.
