About this fabric

Paired birds, stylised flowers, berries and curling foliage form a closely packed repeat across the dark brown field, while the cream, tan and gold motifs catch the light against it. The pattern measures 53 cm vertically by 46 cm horizontally, giving the design a noticeable but not oversized rhythm. At 286 gsm and 39.3 threads per cm, this is a substantial mid-weight fabric suited to both upholstery and drapery applications. Its 139 cm usable width and 60 m standard length support broad interior projects as well as tailored furniture and soft furnishings.

How to use it

Use the deep grape-brown ground to anchor a reading room, study or bedroom, pairing it with aged timber, warm neutrals and brass or antique-gold accents. The lighter birds and flowers can be echoed in cushions or painted woodwork without losing the pattern’s rich depth.

Use this richly detailed grape-brown and gold design to bring depth and a heritage feel to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Strawberry Thief Grape/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.
