About this fabric

The large-scale pattern features pale cream cranes among layered willow foliage, with muted olive, taupe, blue-green and terracotta accents visible across the dark ground. The carob tone reads warm and shadowy, allowing the light cranes and small floral details to stand out with particular depth. Catalogued as velvet, this fabric is suited to upholstery where its theatrical scenic design can be viewed at close range. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use this deep carob colourway on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard, pairing it with warm wood, aged brass and muted olive accents to echo the foliage. Its near-black ground also works well in richly layered, low-lit rooms.

Use this dark, scenic velvet to bring theatrical depth to a statement chair, sofa or upholstered headboard.

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.
