Allegra Charolite
Fontaine Fabric
Allegra Charolite is a remarkably deep brown textile, reading almost black in the swatch while retaining a subtle warm plum-brown cast. Its surface is plain and finely striated, with delicate horizontal lines visible through the dark ground.

About this fabric
The close, even weave gives this colourway a composed, tailored appearance rather than a patterned one, while faint tonal variation keeps the surface from looking flat. Light catches the fine horizontal texture softly, revealing slightly lighter brown threads against the charcoal depth. No composition, width, rub test or performance specification is supplied for this fabric, so its character here is assessed from the visible weave and colour alone.
How to use it
Use Allegra Charolite to bring a deep, cocooning note to a study, library or sitting room, particularly alongside smoked timber, aged metal and warm neutral upholstery. Its almost-black brown tone can also frame lighter curtains or cushions without introducing a strong pattern.
Its near-black brown tone and restrained weave suit tailored upholstery as well as dark, atmospheric drapery.

Pairs well with
Allegra Charolite 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.
