About this fabric

The swatch shows a repeating damask of curling leaves, scrolling stems and detailed floral heads, worked in grey-green against a lighter, softly mottled ground. Its vintage green is cool and restrained rather than bright, allowing the elaborate motif to read with gentle depth instead of sharp contrast. The visible medium-weight textile character makes it suitable for both upholstery and drapery. No performance features, composition, width or rub-test information are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use this subdued grey-green colourway on a traditional chair, headboard or full-length curtain where its tonal damask can provide pattern without dominating the room. Pair it with chalky neutrals, weathered timber and soft grey-green accents to draw out its cool, timeworn quality.

The muted grey-green palette softens the formal damask for quietly layered schemes.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Minerva Vintage Green 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.
