About this fabric

This 100% linen fabric has a detailed botanical composition of birds, twisting branches, layered foliage and large peony-like blooms, with the restrained palette giving the design an antique, collected feel. The warm cream background allows the muted coral-pink flowers and sage leaves to sit alongside dusty blue and brown-grey accents without becoming too bright. At 134 cm wide, the pattern has an 82 cm vertical repeat and a 44.5 cm horizontal repeat, so the larger branches and blooms will make a clear statement across upholstery or full curtain drops. It is suitable for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads, with a 20,000 Martindale rub test; professional dry cleaning is required.

How to use it

Use Eltham Antique to bring warmth and pattern to a pale, classic room, pairing its cream ground with aged timber, soft sage paint or muted rose accents. Its substantial botanical repeat is especially effective on a statement chair, relaxed headboard or long lined curtains.

A softly aged chinoiserie botanical for elegant curtains, upholstery and bedspreads.

Pairs well with

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