About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric from Lelievre’s Belle Époque collection, this colourway has a dense, woven-looking surface filled with ornate floral and paisley forms. The ink-blue ground reads cool and deep, allowing the burgundy detailing to appear especially vivid while taupe-grey and dusty rose motifs soften the overall contrast. Oversized blossoms sit among curling botanical shapes and fine scattered flowers, creating a formal, tapestry-like composition. Its substantial visual density makes it particularly well suited to statement upholstery.

How to use it

Pair Felicité - Encre with warm timber, aged brass and restrained neutral upholstery to balance its cool ink-blue depth. Use it on a feature chair, ottoman or occasional seat where the burgundy and taupe pattern can be fully appreciated.

Use this richly patterned ink-blue textile to bring depth and Belle Époque character to statement upholstery.

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