York Weave Sapphire

Historic Royal Palaces FabricBF10670.648

York Weave Sapphire is a deep, cool-toned textile with a tightly repeated zigzag weave. Its dark sapphire ground is softened by fine grey and muted neutral threads, giving the surface subtle visual movement rather than a flat block of colour.

About this fabric

The close-up shows a small-scale chevron-like weave, with alternating sapphire-blue and grey threads creating a finely textured, almost herringbone effect. Woven from 4% polyester, 45% viscose, 35% cotton and 16% linen, it has a 137 cm (53.82") width and 2 cm (.79") vertical and horizontal pattern repeats. A 26,000 Martindale rub test supports its use for fixed and loose upholstery, as well as curtains and bedspreads. The dark blue-grey colouring reads polished and composed, while the varied threads catch the light gently across the surface.

How to use it

Use the cool sapphire tone on a tailored armchair, sofa or headboard, then repeat it at the window for a coordinated scheme. Its fine grey flecks also give it enough tonal variation to sit comfortably beside plain grey, stone or pale blue textiles.

A versatile dark sapphire weave with fine grey flecks, suitable for tailored upholstery, curtains and coordinated bedspreads.

Pairs well with

York Weave Sapphire 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.
