Montpellier Fig

The house has discontinued this one. We are keeping the page so the link still works, but we can no longer order it. There are alternatives below, and if you have a cutting or a photograph we will help you match it.

Montpellier Fig has a deep fig-plum tone with a softly mottled surface that shifts subtly between berry, burgundy and muted purple in the light. Its quiet plain weave gives the colour depth without introducing a visible motif.

About this fabric

This Harlequin plain fabric is woven in a rich, dark plum shade, with fine surface variation visible across the swatch rather than a printed pattern. At 330 gsm, it has the visual substance of a versatile mid-weight cloth suited to both upholstery and drapery. The 142 cm usable width gives useful coverage for made-to-measure applications. There is no pattern repeat vertically or horizontally, making the fabric straightforward to cut and position.

How to use it

Use Montpellier Fig on a reading chair, bench or full-length curtain where its muted berry-plum depth can add warmth without becoming bright. Pair it with aged timber, soft taupes or dusty blush tones to bring out the shade’s restrained red-purple character.

Use this deep fig-plum plain weave to bring warm, muted colour and quiet depth to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

Pairs well with

Montpellier Fig 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.
