Draughts Old Gold

Name: Draughts Old Gold
Brand: Zinc Textile

Draughts Old Gold has a warm, mellow ochre-gold appearance, with a tightly packed surface that gives the plain-looking swatch subtle visual movement. Its close weave reads as a small-scale texture rather than a bold graphic check.

About this fabric

The colour sits between old gold and golden ochre, with darker threads creating gentle depth across the surface. A fine, softly irregular micro-check effect can be seen within the dense woven texture, rather than a high-contrast pattern. The compact construction makes this colourway read as a considered upholstery textile from the image, although no composition, width or rub-test information has been supplied.

How to use it

Pair this warm old-gold colourway with walnut, aged timber and earthy neutrals, where its textured surface can add quiet richness to a chair, sofa or headboard.

Use this warm old-gold weave to bring mellow colour and tactile depth to upholstered seating.

Draughts Old Gold 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.
