About this fabric

Stylised flowers, curling leaves and pointed central sprays interlock across the surface, while darker red outlines sharpen the fine botanical drawing. The madder tone reads warm and earthy rather than bright, allowing the gold and cream details to catch the eye without looking stark. This wallpaper has a 68.6 cm usable width and a 34.3 cm vertical pattern repeat. Each standard length is 10.05 m, with a listed weight of 153 gsm.

How to use it

Use the warm madder-red ground to add depth in a dining room, study or hallway, pairing it with aged timber, antique brass and cream-painted woodwork. Its gold foliage can also sit comfortably with muted ochre, tan and warm stone tones.

Use the warm madder ground and aged-gold foliage to bring historic depth to a dining room, study or hallway.

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