About this fabric

This fabric is catalogued as a textile with no further specification data supplied, so the visible appearance is the main guide here. The ground is a very dark brown, almost blackened in places, which makes the little figurative motifs stand out sharply. The design reads as a small-scale decorative repeat, with palm trees, floral sprays, birds and scrolling elements picked out in dusty blue, softened coral and warm gold. The overall effect is rich and traditional rather than bright, and the low-contrast dark base gives it a formal, enclosed feel.

How to use it

Use this colourway on a statement chair, a ottoman or a pair of cushions where the dark ground can anchor the room. It works especially well with warm woods, brass and other deep heritage tones.

Use to bring a rich, traditional note to compact upholstery pieces or lined drapes.

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.
