About this fabric

The design is dominated by a large central stylised floral and paisley arrangement, surrounded by curling foliage, medallions and finely detailed scrolling forms. Its amber ground has a toasted, earthy warmth, while burgundy and russet accents add depth against the lighter ivory, sand and gold ornament. The dense pattern and substantial woven appearance make this fabric well suited to upholstery, particularly on pieces intended to read as decorative focal points. It is catalogued as a fabric, and no performance features are noted in the supplied specification data.

How to use it

Use Santal - Ambre on a feature armchair, ottoman or occasional sofa where its warm amber ground can be balanced with dark wood, aged brass and quieter russet or cream textiles. Its formal, tapestry-like richness is especially effective in traditional, eclectic or layered interiors.

A richly ornamental amber-brown textile suited to statement upholstery and traditionally styled 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.
