About this fabric

The formal repeat combines curling leaves, pointed foliage and rounded flower heads in muted russet, ivory and delicate grey, creating a warm, gently faded interpretation of the design. With a 40.5 cm vertical repeat and 46.5 cm horizontal repeat, the medium-scale pattern has a clearly ordered rhythm without losing its intricate detail. At 288 gsm and 35.8 threads per cm, this is a versatile mid-weight fabric suited to both upholstery and drapery. Its 140 cm usable width and 60 m standard length support practical cutting for larger schemes.

How to use it

Use Madder/Russet on a reading chair, headboard or full-length curtains where its warm red-brown foliage can sit against ivory, stone or muted sage tones. The softly desaturated colour keeps the ornate repeat welcoming rather than stark.

Use the warm russet and ivory palette to bring soft, historic colour to 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.
