About this fabric

The visible weave is dense and highly textured, built from short, irregular flecks rather than a printed motif. Black and charcoal dominate, while warm bronze and brown threads glint across the surface to soften the severity of the noir ground. The supplied record lists no composition, width, usage or rub-test result for this fabric, so those specifications remain unconfirmed.

How to use it

Use this black colourway on a structured chair, footstool or sofa where its bronze-flecked surface can add warmth without losing its graphic, dark character. Pair it with pale oak, aged brass or softly coloured walls to draw out the warmer threads.

Use this dark, subtly variegated textile to bring depth to tailored upholstery and contrast with lighter timber or metallic accents.

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.
