About this fabric

The colour reads as a saturated claret red, with darker burgundy shading between the closely spaced vertical ribs. The fine cord texture is clearly visible across the swatch, creating a softly tactile surface rather than a flat plain. Light catches the raised ribs gently, adding subtle tonal variation while keeping the overall impression dark and composed. No further specification data is supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this deep claret colour to upholster a statement armchair, dining chair or sofa where its vertical ribbing can add tailored texture. Pair it with warm timber, aged brass and quieter neutrals to balance the richness of the red.

A rich claret cord texture that brings depth and a tailored finish to upholstered seating.

Cord Fr Crib 5 Claret 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.
