About this fabric

The dense repeating pattern forms large ogee and shield-like botanical panels, with curling cream leaves enclosing russet blossoms and finely drawn charcoal foliage. Its tobacco ground gives the colourway a muted, earthy depth, while the russet details add concentrated warmth rather than bright saturation. At 978 gsm with 81.8 threads per cm, this is a substantial woven fabric suited to upholstery. The usable width is 135 cm, with a 46 cm vertical repeat and 32.5 cm horizontal repeat to consider when pattern matching.

How to use it

Use it on a buttoned armchair, headboard or occasional sofa where the large botanical repeat can be seen clearly. Pair the tobacco and russet tones with dark wood, aged brass, warm cream upholstery plains and other softly patinated finishes.

Use this weighty, richly patterned colourway on statement upholstery, with warm russet and tobacco tones balanced by cream detailing.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Norbury Weave Tobacco/Russet 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.
