Vintage-Linen Asphalt

Vintage-Linen Fabric

Vintage-Linen Asphalt reads as a deep charcoal black, softened by the fine grey threads visible throughout its woven surface. The cloth gathers into fluid folds, revealing a restrained tonal variation rather than a flat, solid finish.

About this fabric

Vintage-Linen Asphalt appears almost black at first glance, with a cool charcoal tone that opens into fine grey threads where the light reaches the cloth. Its close linen-like crosshatch is clearly visible across the flatter areas, while the gathered folds create deeper near-black bands and a gently fluid fall. The supplied record lists no composition, width, rub test or performance features for this colourway, so those details should be confirmed before ordering for a particular application. The way the fabric gathers in the photograph makes this dark, finely textured cloth particularly suited to curtains with a grounded, architectural presence.

How to use it

Use this deep asphalt shade for full-length curtains in rooms with pale stone, warm timber or brushed metal, where its near-black depth can anchor the scheme without losing the texture of the weave. Keep surrounding patterns quiet so the fine crosshatch and softly changing folds remain visible.

Use this deep charcoal shade to give curtains a quiet, architectural finish with subtle woven depth.

Pairs well with

Vintage-Linen Asphalt 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.
