About this fabric

Catalogued as a Fabric, this dense-looking woven scene reads as a substantial upholstery textile rather than a fine, fluid drapery cloth. The Cuivre colourway combines a muted copper-olive ground with deep russet-red trees, blossoms and layered landscape forms. Small sailing boats, hillside structures and a central spreading tree give the large-scale design a narrative quality, while the intricate woven detail adds visual depth. No performance features are noted in the supplied record, so suitability should be assessed against the intended upholstery application.

How to use it

Pair this warm Cuivre colourway with aged timber, dark walnut and plain olive or russet textiles to draw out its landscape tones. It is especially effective on a statement armchair, headboard or compact upholstered bench where the scenic repeat can be appreciated.

Use its warm copper, russet and olive landscape as a richly decorative focal point on upholstery or occasional seating.

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.
