Pennyfarthing grey
Naturalhistory Fabricpennyfa/fao/ant
Pennyfarthing Grey presents the bicycle motif in a cool, chalky blue-grey that feels quietly graphic rather than bold. The sketch-like linework stands out softly against the ground, giving the design a calm, lightly vintage character.

About this fabric
Woven in 95% cotton and 5% linen, this fabric has the dry, natural handle that suits soft furnishings as well as curtains and blinds. The 230gsm weight and 140cm usable width place it comfortably in a versatile mid-weight category, while the 46.6cm horizontal and 45.5cm vertical repeats give the bicycle motif a generous, repeating presence. In this colourway, the grey ground reads cool and muted, with just enough blue in it to keep the printed bicycles and cloud-like marks looking sharp. Dry clean only care and a cool iron finish make it practical for made-to-measure interior projects.
How to use it
Use Pennyfarthing Grey in a relaxed study, hallway, or utility room where the soft blue-grey can add pattern without overpowering the scheme. It pairs well with pale timber, white paintwork, and iron or nickel accents for a crisp, easygoing finish.
A laid-back grey with a gentle blue cast that keeps the bicycle motif feeling crisp and modern.

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