About this fabric

The swatch shows an even woven ground with narrow vertical lines and a lightly pebbled texture. Its seal colour sits between cool grey and warm taupe, with subtle tonal variation across the surface rather than a flat solid finish. The compact weave gives the fabric a neat, structured appearance suited to upholstery. A FibreGuard logo is visible on the supplied swatch image, while no further performance specification has been supplied.

How to use it

Use 17 Seal on a tailored armchair, sofa or dining seat where its quiet grey-taupe tone can soften darker timber and sit comfortably alongside chalky neutrals, stone and warm metal.

The close, fine vertical weave and muted grey-taupe tone give upholstery a quietly tailored finish.

17 Seal 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.
