About this fabric

The fabric is dominated by a saturated madder-red field, crossed by narrow cream, white and charcoal vertical stripes. Horizontal ochre and red bands contain small floral details, giving the regular check a distinctly ornamental character rather than a purely geometric look. At 465 gsm, it has a substantial presence suited to upholstery, with the dense surface showing fine vertical and horizontal yarn definition in the swatch. The pattern repeats every 40 cm vertically and 33.6 cm horizontally, creating a clearly legible medium-scale check.

How to use it

Use this warm red colourway on a tailored armchair, dining chair or compact sofa where its cream striping can be echoed with natural linen and its ochre bands picked up in aged brass or timber accents.

A substantial madder-red check with cream stripes and fine floral bands, well suited to tailored upholstery.

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