Mark Alexander | Town
SKU: M407/71
Town is a plain wool cloth, densely woven and dry to the touch rather than soft. There is no pattern in it, only the small variation that comes of spinning and weaving a natural fibre, so the colour breathes across a large expanse rather than sitting dead. It tailors cleanly, holds a sharp edge on a seat pad, and hangs in heavy upright folds at a window. We think of it as a ground cloth, the thing a scheme is measured against.
It is woven from 100 per cent wool at a 140 centimetre width, with no repeat to allow for. The Martindale figure is 100,000 rubs, severe contract and well beyond domestic need. The colour range runs to 33, unusually broad for a plain: Jasper White, Natural and Stone at the pale end, French Grey and Fume through the middle, Indigo, Evergreen and Burnt Henna at the saturated end. If you are matching something already in the room, ask for the three nearest shades rather than one.
We use it for upholstery first, on a deep sofa, a pair of club chairs, or a headboard that should read as one solid block of colour. It makes a good full-length curtain in the darker shades, where the weight helps the fold settle. Because the range is so wide it is also the cloth we use to tie a scheme together, one shade on the seating and a quieter second on a bench. Order a sample to see it in your own light.
Ask your upholsterer to cut every piece from a single roll and in the same direction, because wool plains shade and a panel run the other way will look a different colour in raking light. At the window, interline it if you want the fold to stay soft and the colour to stay true; wool is dense enough to hang unlined, but light coming through flattens the shade. Allow for a little shrinkage before making up.
