About this fabric

The large butterfly motifs are finely detailed, with patterned wings in burgundy, rust, ochre, plum and muted blue, while the surrounding stems and flowers appear in softer blue-grey and chalky white. Against the near-navy ground, the pale foliage reads almost like line drawing, creating depth between the bold insects and the quieter botanical tracery. The cloth has a softly matt textile appearance in the photograph, allowing the contrasting colours and fine motif details to carry the surface. No composition, width, rub test or performance feature is supplied for this catalogue entry.

How to use it

Use Encre as a dramatic upholstery or curtain colourway in a study, bedroom or richly layered sitting room. Pair the ink-blue ground with warm timber, aged brass and small accents of burgundy or ochre drawn from the butterfly wings.

Use this deep ink ground to anchor a room, then echo the butterfly jewel tones in cushions or painted details.

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