About this fabric

The textile reads as a rich ochre-gold, with subtle variations from pale honey to deeper amber across the surface. A fine, closely packed texture is visible throughout, creating a softly pebbled appearance rather than a distinct printed motif. The even, adaptable-looking cloth can suit both upholstery and drapery applications. No composition, width, rub-test rating or performance features are supplied for this listing, so those details should be confirmed before ordering.

How to use it

Use Gentiane to bring sun-warmed depth to an otherwise neutral room, where its golden ochre tone can lift stone, cream or dark timber surroundings. Its finely mottled surface would work equally well on relaxed seating or full-length curtains.

A warm golden-ochre textile with a softly pebbled surface for relaxed upholstery or drapery schemes.

Ideal - Gentiane is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
