Capodimonte Weave Mousseaux

Damask FabricZOF0147-01

Capodimonte Weave Mousseaux presents a grand, symmetrical damask in softly contrasting mushroom taupe and pale oatmeal tones. Its woven surface gives the ornamental design a tactile, gently mottled finish rather than a flat printed appearance.

About this fabric

The Mousseaux colourway combines a muted taupe ground with lighter, closely drawn damask motifs, allowing the medallions, urns and scrolling foliage to emerge with restrained contrast. Fine tonal variation across the weave catches the light on the pale motifs and gives the darker ground a subtle depth. This 300gsm fabric has a usable width of 140cm, a vertical repeat of 106cm and a horizontal repeat of 70cm, with 132 threads per centimetre. Its substantial mid-weight handle makes it suitable for both upholstery and drapery where the large-scale pattern can be properly aligned.

How to use it

Use Mousseaux on a classic armchair, headboard or full-length curtain to balance the ornate damask with warm ivory, aged timber and other quiet taupe textiles. The soft mushroom tone is especially effective where a room needs pattern without a strong or saturated colour statement.

Use the softly contrasting mushroom-taupe damask to bring ornamental depth to upholstery, curtains or blinds.

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.
