Astell Parchment

About this fabric

The colour reads as a light parchment beige, with a slightly warm cast and a softly mottled woven surface that catches the light very subtly. Its restrained 2 cm vertical and 2.5 cm horizontal pattern repeats keep the design visually close to plain while adding fine surface interest. At 140 cm wide, it is specified for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads, with a 45,000 Martindale rub test supporting regular upholstery use. Care is professional dry cleaning only: do not wash, bleach or iron.

How to use it

Use this warm parchment shade to soften tailored seating, upholstered bedheads or full-length curtains in rooms built around ivory, oak and muted natural tones. Its low-contrast texture also works well where a calm neutral is needed without a completely flat finish.

A warm parchment neutral with a fine woven texture for quietly tailored upholstery, curtains and bedspreads.

Pairs well with

Astell Parchment 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.
