About this fabric

This Sanderson fabric is supplied as a 129 cm usable width textile with a 35 m standard length, a 78 cm vertical repeat and a 64 cm horizontal repeat, giving the trailing design a generous full-scale rhythm. At 340 gsm and 44 threads per cm, it has a substantial, woven feel that suits both upholstery and drapery applications. In this colourway, the ebony ground feels almost black, while the inkwood tones sit within the stems and foliage as warm, earthy brown-reds. The blossoms bring a soft contrast in pale peach and blush, and the leaves lift the whole surface with fresh green notes that keep the pattern from feeling flat or overly dark.

How to use it

This colourway works well where you want a dark, atmospheric backdrop with a lighter botanical lift. Pair it with aged brass, walnut, or mossy textiles to echo the warm green and blush tones in the print.

Use with velvet or polished timber to let the trailing blossoms and dark ground feel richer.

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.
