Abbeville Rose/Calico

Name: Abbeville Rose/Calico
Brand: Sanderson
SKU: SAF0100-01

Abbeville Rose/Calico is a romantic country-house print with trailing branches, painted birds and clusters of blossom on a warm calico ground. The rose pinks feel gently faded rather than bright, giving the design a lifted, antique character.

About this fabric

This Sanderson fabric is supplied as a 138 cm wide textile with a substantial 425 gsm weight, making it well suited to upholstery. The 89 cm vertical repeat and full 138 cm horizontal repeat create a generous, flowing pattern that shows off the branching layout across larger pieces. In this colourway, the calico ground reads soft and creamy, while the roses sit in dusty pink and deepened berry tones with olive-green leaf detail and pale gilt stems. The overall effect is elegant and slightly faded, with enough depth for statement seating without feeling too heavy.

How to use it

Use it on a skirted armchair, headboard or occasional chair where the large-scale birds and blossom can be seen clearly. It sits especially well with chalk paint finishes, honeyed timber and muted green accents.

Pair with quiet neutrals and antique wood to let the painted birds and blossoms take centre stage.

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.
