About this fabric

The repeating composition is filled with paired birds, curling stems, flowers and dense foliage, with the dark indigo background giving the artwork considerable depth. Mineral blue details soften the ground, while olive green, parchment, blush and coral notes provide restrained contrast rather than bright saturation. This fabric has a 139 cm usable width and a 286 gsm weight, making the substantial patterned cloth suitable for both upholstery and drapery. Its pattern repeat measures 53 cm vertically by 46 cm horizontally, and the construction is listed at 39.3 threads per cm.

How to use it

Use the cool indigo ground to anchor a library chair, sofa or full-length curtain, pairing it with warm timber, aged brass and plain mineral-blue or olive textiles. The small coral and creamy accents can be picked out in cushions or painted joinery without competing with the dense pattern.

A richly detailed indigo furnishing fabric that brings mineral blues, soft neutrals and small warm accents to traditional 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.
