About this fabric

Fine botanical branches, flowering plants and sweeping leaves frame a central pastoral scene with figures, a small animal and distant birds. The faience-blue drawing shifts from delicate outlines to deeper, ink-like areas, giving the ivory ground plenty of visual depth without becoming harsh. Its fine-looking cloth reads particularly well as a drapery fabric, where the extended toile composition can be appreciated across a wider surface. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use the cool ivory and blue palette for full-length curtains in a traditional bedroom, garden room or sitting room, pairing it with chalky walls and quiet natural wood. The detailed scene also works as a restrained focal point against plain upholstery in warm ivory or soft grey.

Use this cool blue-and-ivory toile for curtains, upholstered accents or a classically composed room.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Belle Saison - Faience 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.
