About this fabric

This colourway is a plain textile rather than a printed design, with a fine, even weave and delicate tonal variation visible in the close-up. Its substantial 630gsm weight and 22 threads per cm give the surface a dense, compact appearance suited to upholstery. The 140cm usable width supports practical cutting, while the 0cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeats allow the crimson field to run uninterrupted. Highlights catch lightly across the weave, tempering the intensity of the red without making it appear muted.

How to use it

Use this deep crimson on a statement armchair, dining seat or tailored sofa where its saturated red can provide a confident focal point. Pair it with warm wood, aged brass or quieter neutral upholstery to let the woven colour remain central.

A substantial crimson plain for tailored upholstery and richly coloured accent seating.

Zoffany Linens Crimson 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.
