Linden Gunmetal

Name: Linden Gunmetal
Brand: Mark Alexander

Linden Gunmetal is a cool, mid-depth grey with a subtle gunmetal cast. The close, finely textured weave gives the surface quiet variation rather than a flat, uniform appearance.

About this fabric

This Mark Alexander fabric is catalogued in the Casual collection and appears as a compact, plain woven textile with a fine grain. Its gunmetal-grey colouring shifts gently between charcoal, silver and soft grey across the surface, creating restrained depth. The lack of a visible motif keeps the emphasis on the weave and its softly tactile finish. No composition, width, rub-test or performance specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Linden Gunmetal where a cool grey foundation will balance warmer timber, leather or painted finishes. Its fine, unobtrusive texture is well suited to relaxed upholstery, cushions or simple window treatments.

Its cool gunmetal tone and finely textured weave bring quiet depth to relaxed upholstery, curtains or cushions.

Linden Gunmetal is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

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.
