Name: Belle Saison - Cendre
Brand: Lelievre
SKU: 4269-03

Belle Saison - Cendre presents a softly monochrome pastoral toile, with charcoal-grey figures, trees, flowers and birds drawn across a pale ash-grey ground. The fine, even surface keeps the detailed scene delicate rather than heavy.

About this fabric

The large-scale design centres on a standing woman and companion, framed by branching trees, flowering plants, foliage and small birds. Its cool cendre colouring combines a pale grey background with darker grey linework, giving the scene a quiet, etched appearance. The image shows a fine, closely woven-looking cloth with a relatively smooth face, making it best suited to drapery. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use this cool ash-grey colourway for generous curtains where its detailed pastoral scene can be seen at full height. Pair it with chalky whites, weathered timber and soft charcoal accents to draw out the restrained tonal contrast.

The cool ash-grey ground and finely drawn pastoral scene suit full-length curtains in a classic or heritage interior.

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.
