About this fabric

The antique-bronze ground reads as a warm, muted taupe with a softly mineral cast, while dark blue-black linework gives the surface strong drawn contrast. Large protea-like blooms, curling tendrils, leaves and small buds form an intricate botanical study across the cloth. At 260 gsm and 40 threads per cm, the fabric has a substantial, closely woven presence suited to both upholstery and drapery. Its 179.2 cm vertical repeat and 134 cm horizontal repeat make the oversized composition a considered choice for pattern placement, while the 137 cm usable width supports practical cutting.

How to use it

Use Phaedra Antique Bronze on a statement chair, curtain or upholstered headboard where its bronze-taupe ground can soften the impact of the ink-dark botanical drawing. Dark wood, aged metal and quiet neutral walls will reinforce its antique character without competing with the large repeat.

Pair the muted bronze-taupe ground with dark timber and ink-toned accents to frame the oversized botanical repeat.

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.
