Minerva Silver Shell
Muscovy Fabric

About this fabric
Large, curling leaves and floral sprays form the repeating damask, with delicate vein and petal lines visible within the broader silhouettes. The silver-grey pattern sits close in tone to the light shell-coloured ground, giving the design a quiet, softly blended depth rather than a sharp contrast. The surface appears gently textured, allowing the fine drawn details to catch the light without becoming glossy. No composition, width, usage rating or rub-test data has been supplied for this exact fabric.
How to use it
Use this cool silver-shell colourway to bring a calm, formal note to a sitting room, bedroom or window treatment. It works especially well with chalky whites, pale greys and brushed metallic accents that echo its subdued tonal contrast.
A cool, low-contrast damask for elegant upholstery, curtains and coordinated interiors.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Minerva Silver Shell without fighting it. 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.
