About this fabric

The colour reads as deep charcoal grey, with subtle cooler and warmer shifts visible across the surface rather than a flat solid finish. A fine, irregular texture gives the cloth gentle visual movement and allows the light to catch in softened patches. The close, weighty-looking surface is particularly suited to upholstery where this dark tone can add depth without introducing a strong pattern. No performance features or further technical specifications are noted for this fabric in the supplied information.

How to use it

Use Chesterfield Lead on a statement sofa, armchair or footstool where its cool charcoal tone can anchor pale timber, stone, brushed metal and muted grey furnishings. Keep surrounding textures tactile but understated so the fabric’s quiet mottling remains visible.

The deep charcoal-grey tone and softly mottled texture give upholstery a grounded, tailored finish.

Pairs well with

Chesterfield Lead is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
