Cupid`s Beau Quince/Chalk

Sanderson x Giles Deacon Fabric FabricSAF0426-01

Cupid`s Beau Quince/Chalk pairs a soft chalky ground with ribbon blue bows and delicately painted foliage, giving the design a light, decorative feel. The large-scale botanical repeat reads airy rather than heavy, with the cream base keeping the pattern bright and open.

About this fabric

This fabric has a usable width of 142 cm, a substantial 265 gsm body and a pronounced 62.5 cm vertical repeat with a 70 cm horizontal repeat, so the pattern is designed to be seen and matched with confidence. In this colourway, the chalk ground feels warm and quiet, allowing the sage and olive leaves to sit gently against the surface while the blue bows add a fresh, slightly faded contrast. The print has a painterly softness rather than a sharp graphic edge, which suits the romantic floral-and-ribbon motif. With no performance features noted, it reads as a decorative fabric best chosen for schemes where pattern and colour are the focus.

How to use it

Use it on curtains, cushions or a statement chair where the cream ground can keep the room feeling light. It works especially well with painted wood, pale timber and other soft blues, letting the ribbon accents echo rather than overpower.

A fresh cream ground with ribbon-blue accents and painterly greens for an elegant, lifted scheme.

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.
