About this fabric

The swatch appears almost black at first glance, but fine warm brown-grey lines soften the overall tone and prevent it from reading as flat black. Closely spaced horizontal ridges run consistently across the surface, creating a neat linear texture with a gently tactile appearance. This catalogued fabric has no composition, width or rub-test specification supplied, and no performance features are noted.

How to use it

Use Ansel Mercury on a clean-lined armchair, sofa or dining seat where its charcoal brown-grey tone can anchor a room without the starkness of true black. Pair it with pale stone, warm timber and brushed metal to pick up the subtle warmth in its ribbed surface.

A dark, finely ribbed textile that brings tailored depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Ansel Mercury 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.
