Persian Tulip Teal

The Unfinished Works Handcrafted FabricMOF0265-02

Persian Tulip Teal combines a cool, muted teal with a softly aged cream ground, creating a clearly defined backdrop for its repeating tulip forms. Fine scrolling foliage, pale sage leaves and small coral details give the surface a richly illustrated appearance.

About this fabric

The design is arranged with dark teal, teardrop-shaped tulips set among curling leaves, small blossoms and delicate cream-and-sage tracery. At 239 gsm, the textile has a versatile mid-weight presence, while the visible fine ground keeps the intricate motif feeling composed rather than heavy. Its vertical pattern repeat is 31.7 cm and the horizontal repeat is 34.3 cm, giving the regular layout a moderate scale for upholstery or drapery applications. The supplied 137.2 cm usable width and 38 threads-per-centimetre construction are practical specifications for planning joins and pattern placement.

How to use it

Use this cool teal colourway on a statement chair, bench or full-length curtains, then echo its cream ground in the surrounding upholstery. Warm wood, aged brass and restrained coral accessories will draw out the pattern’s softer accents without competing with the dense foliage.

Pair the cool teal ground with warm timber, natural linen and small coral accents for a collected, pattern-rich scheme.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Persian Tulip Teal 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.
