About this fabric

This colourway reads closer to wine or burgundy than bright scarlet, giving the red considerable depth in the swatch. The small herringbone weave is understated rather than graphic, with subtle tonal variation softening the dark ruby ground. Its dense-looking woven appearance makes it well suited to tailored upholstery and seating. No composition, width or rub-test information is supplied for this listing.

How to use it

Use Herringbone Ruby on a structured armchair, dining seat or compact sofa where its dark red tone can act as a rich focal colour. Pair it with warm timber, smoked finishes or quiet neutrals to preserve the fabric’s restrained, sophisticated depth.

Herringbone Ruby 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.
