Matador Oxblood

Matador Oxblood is shown here as a fluid, smooth cloth gathered into generous folds, revealing a deep red-brown tone with softly shifting highlights. Its rich oxblood colour feels warm and atmospheric rather than bright.

About this fabric

The swatch image shows a fine-looking, flexible fabric falling easily into layered folds, with a smooth surface that catches the light gently along the raised areas. Matador Oxblood sits between deep red and brown, creating a saturated yet softened shade with considerable visual depth. The absence of a visible motif keeps attention on the colour, fluid movement and subtle tonal variation across the cloth. No composition, width or rub-test information was supplied for this exact colourway.

How to use it

Use Matador Oxblood for full-height curtains in a study, dining room or snug, pairing its warm red-brown depth with dark timber, aged brass and softly contrasting neutrals.

Use this rich oxblood cloth for full-length curtains or softly gathered window treatments where its fluid folds can create a dramatic, intimate mood.

Pairs well with

Matador Oxblood 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.
