Name: M661 Anthracite

About this fabric

The anthracite tone reads as a cool, weathered charcoal rather than a flat black, allowing the pale ground to remain visible between the botanical motifs. Fine surface variation and the lightly distressed-looking marks give the floral design depth, while the ivory areas soften its overall contrast. M661 Anthracite is catalogued as a fabric; no performance features or further specification data are noted in the supplied information.

How to use it

Use this cool charcoal-and-ivory colourway on a statement chair, headboard or full-length curtain where its formal botanical repeat can be seen clearly. It pairs naturally with aged timber, chalky stone and other muted grey accents.

Use this charcoal-and-ivory damask to bring refined pattern and softened contrast to upholstery or curtains.

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.
