Eldon Linen Antique

Eldon Linen Antique is a softly muted beige with the quiet warmth of natural linen. Its close, gently irregular weave creates subtle tonal variation across the otherwise plain surface.

About this fabric

The colour sits between sandy beige and antique oat, with a warm cast that becomes slightly lighter where the weave catches the light. A fine, understated linen texture is visible throughout the swatch, giving the plain fabric tactile depth without a motif or pronounced pattern. Woven from 95% linen and 5% nylon, it is 140 cm (55") wide and rated to 40,000 Martindale rubs. It is specified for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads. Care is professional dry cleaning only; do not wash, bleach or iron.

How to use it

Use this warm antique beige to soften a classic sofa or headboard, or make full curtains and bedspreads that add natural texture without introducing a strong pattern. It pairs easily with chalky whites, honeyed timber and deeper tobacco or olive accents.

A warm, softly textured neutral for relaxed upholstery, curtains, bedspreads and layered natural interiors.

Pairs well with

Eldon Linen Antique is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
