About this fabric

The close-set weave is dominated by cool steel grey, with darker charcoal passages and lighter threads defining the ornament. Large curling damask and paisley forms fill the view, including a central scrolling stem, teardrop detail and smaller floral flourishes. Short, grainy yarn definition gives the surface a tactile, dimensional appearance rather than the look of a flat print. The supplied record lists no performance features or further specifications for this fabric.

How to use it

Use the cool steel-grey tone on a statement armchair, dining chair or shaped headboard where the detailed damask can remain visible. Balance its formal pattern with pale grey upholstery companions, dark timber or simple metal accents.

A cool steel-grey damask with intricate scrolling detail for tailored, statement upholstery.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Inchcolm Steel without fighting it. 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.
