About this fabric

The colour reads as a dark, warm espresso brown, with subtle lighter threads catching across the close plain weave rather than forming a printed pattern. Made from 100% linen and supplied at 142.55 cm wide, it is specified for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads. A 50,000 Martindale rub test supports its use on upholstered furniture. Care instructions specify professional dry cleaning only; do not wash, bleach or iron.

How to use it

Use this deep espresso colourway on a chair, sofa or bedspread when you want the linen texture to add quiet depth without introducing a visible motif. Made-up as curtains, its dark brown tone will create a more enveloping, low-light feel.

Pairs well with

Weathered Linen Espresso 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.
