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.

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.
