About this fabric

This Warwick fabric is shown in a rich ebony black, with a quiet depth that becomes more visible where the cloth curves and catches the light. Its surface looks smooth and softly fluid rather than visibly patterned, while the folds create broad tonal movement across the swatch. The near-black colour gives the textile a luxe, dramatic presence without introducing any contrasting motif or colour.

How to use it

Use Matador Ebony to bring depth to tailored seating, cushions or full-length curtains, particularly where its black tone can be softened by warm timber, aged metal or lighter neutral furnishings.

A deep ebony-black ground with a smooth, softly reflective surface that brings quiet depth to upholstery and drapery.

Pairs well with

Matador Ebony 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.
