Curio Plum is a dark, closely woven textile with a rich plum-brown ground and a fine scatter of lighter threads. Its compact surface gives the colour depth rather than a flat, uniform appearance.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a tightly packed micro-weave in deep plum, softened by subtle taupe and mauve flecks that catch across the surface. The small-scale texture is regular and tactile, with a restrained sheen that keeps the colour grounded and sophisticated. Its substantial-looking woven construction makes it best suited to upholstery. No additional composition, width, rub-test or performance data is supplied for this SKU.

How to use it

Use this plum-brown colourway on an armchair, dining chair or tailored sofa where its dark, nuanced tone can anchor softer neutrals. Pair it with warm timber, aged metal and muted mauve or taupe accents to draw out the lighter threads in the weave.

Use this deep plum weave to bring quiet depth and tactile interest to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Curio Plum 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.
