Tosca Anthracite

Tosca Anthracite has a deep charcoal-grey ground with a finely textured, close-woven surface. The subtle variation across the weave keeps the shade dimensional rather than flat.

About this fabric

The visible cloth is a compact textile in cool anthracite, with tiny lighter and darker threads creating a restrained salt-and-pepper effect. Its dense, even weave gives the surface a smart, tailored appearance suited to upholstery. No composition or width specification is supplied for this colourway, and no performance features are noted. The close texture catches the light gently, revealing depth within the otherwise dark grey tone.

How to use it

Use Tosca Anthracite on a structured sofa, armchair or footstool where its cool charcoal tone can anchor softer pale greys, chalky whites or warm timber. Its restrained heathering also works well with brushed metal and other quiet, textural finishes.

A deep, heathered grey with a compact woven texture for tailored upholstery.

Pairs well with

Tosca Anthracite 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.
