About this fabric

The swatch is centred on a rich ruby ground, overlaid with a tonal damask of scrolling foliage, stylised blooms and symmetrical floral medallions. Its coral-red motifs are close in value to the ground, creating a layered, softly contrasted effect that becomes more pronounced where the light catches the weave. The generous pattern and saturated colour give this colourway a distinctly decorative, luxe character. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification, so suitability should be assessed against the intended application.

How to use it

Pair the warm ruby and coral-red tones with aged timber, antique brass and muted cream upholstery for a richly traditional room. Used at a window, the ornate repeat can provide a dramatic textile counterpoint to quieter neutral furnishings.

Use the deep ruby ground to bring warmth and theatrical depth to classic upholstery, curtains or decorative cushions.

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.
