Clover & Vine Weave Russet

Clover & Vine Weave Russet layers curling leaves, scrolling stems and small blossoms across a deep russet-brown ground. The dark base gives the pale blush, cream and terracotta details a softly luminous contrast.

About this fabric

This substantial woven fabric weighs 590gsm and has a useable width of 138cm, making it well suited to upholstery. Its dense botanical pattern repeats vertically every 68.5cm and horizontally every 69cm, with sweeping vine forms interlocking across the surface. In this Russet colourway, near-black brown shadows deepen the warm red-brown ground, while dusty pink, antique cream and muted terracotta flowers soften the overall effect. The closely detailed weave gives the design a tactile, richly layered appearance rather than a flat printed look.

How to use it

Use Russet on a buttoned armchair, footstool or compact sofa where its warm, dark depth can anchor a room. Pair it with aged wood, tobacco leather and quiet cream upholstery to pick up the lighter botanical highlights.

A richly patterned, heavy woven upholstery fabric for statement chairs, sofas and occasional pieces.

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.
