About this fabric

The bronze-brown ground gives this textile a deep, earthen tone, while the pale scrolling forms create a strong contrast across the surface. Large floral clusters feature subdued rose, rust, taupe and dark brown petals, with small cream sprigs filling the spaces between them. A visibly granular, vertically textured surface adds further depth and keeps the ornate pattern from appearing flat. The generous scale and richly layered colouring make this a particularly decorative choice for upholstery.

How to use it

Use Melodie in Bronze on a statement armchair, headboard or occasional sofa where its warm brown depth and cream arabesques can be appreciated at close range. Pair it with dark wood, aged brass and plain textiles in tobacco, taupe or soft cream.

A richly ornamental bronze-brown textile that brings historic floral drama to upholstered furniture.

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.
