About this fabric

Smooth Persian Red is a near-black burgundy red, with the subdued, wine-like depth visible across the swatch. The surface reads as even and smooth rather than patterned, while a fine, barely visible textile grain gives the dark colour a soft tonal lift. In low light it appears especially deep and plum-leaning; lighter areas reveal a restrained red warmth rather than a bright scarlet cast. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use this deep Persian red on a statement armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard where its dark wine tone can act as a dramatic focal point. Pair it with aged wood, smoked finishes and warm neutrals to draw out its subdued richness.

Use this deep wine-red plain textile to bring rich, dramatic colour to tailored upholstery.

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.
