About this fabric

The image shows a dense-looking brown surface with subtle reddish warmth beneath the very dark chestnut ground. Fine tonal variation creates a gently mottled effect rather than a visible motif or directional pattern, while the low sheen keeps the colour restrained. No composition, width or rub-test information has been supplied for this fabric, and no performance features are noted.

How to use it

Use this deep chestnut on a statement armchair, sofa or dining seat where its dark warmth can anchor a room. Pair it with aged timber, tobacco leather or muted cream to bring out the brown’s understated reddish depth.

A dark, richly toned chestnut with a softly mottled surface for deep, atmospheric upholstery.

Chestnut - 2010/32 is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it
