About this fabric

The dense pattern is built from curling stems, pointed leaves and stylised flower heads, with gold and pale highlights standing clearly against the claret background. At 260 gsm and 89 threads per cm, this is a substantial mid-weight fabric suitable for both upholstery and drapery applications. The pattern repeats every 32 cm vertically and 23 cm horizontally, creating a continuous field of ornament across the 139 cm usable width. A standard length of 60 metres supports larger coordinated furnishing projects.

How to use it

Use the warm claret ground to bring depth to a library, dining room or sitting room, pairing it with aged wood, antique brass and quiet neutral upholstery. The gold details catch the light gently, making it especially effective on statement curtains, cushions or an occasional chair.

A richly detailed claret ground with warm gold highlights, suited to statement upholstery, cushions and full-length curtains.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Snakeshead Claret/Gold 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.
