Marlborough Obsidian
Marlborough Fabric
Marlborough Obsidian has a blackened charcoal tone with a finely pebbled surface that catches the light in subtle, uneven highlights. Its close texture gives the swatch a tactile, almost leather-like depth while remaining visually restrained.

About this fabric
Catalogued as a fabric from Warwick’s Marlborough collection, this Obsidian colourway presents as a dense, near-black charcoal rather than a flat jet black. The fine irregular grain is visible across the surface, adding quiet movement and soft tonal variation without a printed motif. The dark colour and close texture make it particularly suited to upholstery-led schemes where a tailored, grounded finish is wanted. No performance features or further specification data are noted for this exact fabric.
How to use it
Use Marlborough Obsidian on a structured armchair, sofa or ottoman alongside warm timber, aged metal and soft ivory upholstery accents. Its cool, blackened charcoal depth also works well as an anchoring contrast against stone, smoked glass and muted neutrals.
A near-black, pebbled surface that brings tailored depth to sofas, chairs and ottomans.

Pairs well with
Marlborough Obsidian 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.
