About this fabric

This substantial 347gsm fabric is printed with a large-scale natural-history scene: grey-black gorillas appear alongside exposed ribcages, compass-like circular details, green leaves and vivid blue serpents. The cool emerald background gives the colourway a dense, jewel-like presence, while the grey animals and blue accents create sharp contrast across the surface. It has a 137cm usable width and a pattern repeat of 82.3cm vertically by 68.5cm horizontally. With a 40m standard length, it is well suited to statement upholstery where the detailed repeat can be fully appreciated.

How to use it

Use Silverback Linen Green on a statement armchair, ottoman or headboard, balancing its saturated emerald tone with dark timber, aged brass and restrained neutral walls. Keep surrounding textiles quiet so the gorillas, serpents and foliage remain the room’s focal point.

A richly illustrated emerald ground with dramatic animal and botanical detail, suited to statement upholstery.

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