Zambia Bronze

Serengeti Fabric

Zambia Bronze brings a deep bronze shimmer to the Serengeti leopard spot, set against dark ground for a dramatic, high-contrast finish. The pattern feels tight and energetic, with the metallic tone catching the light across the surface.

About this fabric

This Zambia Bronze colourway in the Serengeti collection by Porter & Stone is a 140cm-wide fabric woven from 61% polyester and 39% viscose. The small-scale leopard print sits in warm bronze tones over a near-black ground, giving the design a rich, dimensional look rather than a flat tan animal pattern. The surface reads textured and slightly lustrous, with the bronze outlines lifting as the light moves across the fabric. With pattern repeat of 36.5cm vertical and 34.5cm horizontal, it is well suited to considered upholstery where the repeat can be planned carefully. Care instruction NQT1< should be followed to help preserve the fabric's finish.

How to use it

Use Zambia Bronze on an accent chair, ottoman or banquette to add warmth and a little glamour to darker woods, smoked glass or brass details. Its bronze-on-black contrast works especially well with tan leather, charcoal walls or layered neutrals.

A rich metallic bronze grounds the leopard spot for a polished, statement upholstery look.

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