The Empire Crest Fabric: Navy, Gold & Red | 1925 Deco Collection

About This Design

Bold navy and gold fans rise across a red field here, each one built from layered blades that fan outward with real conviction. There's nothing quiet about this pairing, red carries genuine weight as a ground colour, and navy and gold trade the lead across the repeat with total confidence. The impasto effect gives every blade a raised, almost gilded edge, so the gold catches light while navy holds its depth against the red beneath.

Up close, the layered fan structure inside each form has real precision, sharp and deliberate. From across a room, the red ground refuses to recede the way black or cream might, it insists on being seen, and navy and gold rise to meet it. Against the more restrained, ivory toned pieces in this collection, The Empire Crest carries genuine ceremony, the kind of design built for ranks and medals rather than quiet afternoons.

The Inspiration

This one grew from thinking about ceremonial regalia, ranks and colours, crests that announce lineage and occasion rather than blend in. Deco designers often reached for that same sense of proclamation, bold fields of colour paired with precise, symmetrical ornament. The Empire Crest takes that instinct and lets navy, gold and red carry it at full volume.

What It Carries

There's a real boldness to this design that suits a room built to make a statement, a formal dining room, a study, upholstery on a single striking chair that wants to command the space. The red grounds it with genuine confidence, navy and gold give it structure and shine. It's a design for people who want a room to feel like an occasion every time they walk in.

Design Size Options

This design is available in three layout scales:

Grand: A larger-scale composition that reads with authority across statement furniture and feature walls.

Classic: A balanced, repeated layout with natural structure and rhythm. Works across most applications.

Detailed: A fine-scale repeat where the impasto texture becomes the surface itself. Ideal for scatter cushions, smaller upholstery panels, and layered soft furnishings.

💡 Style tip: Use a measuring tape to mark out 50cm on your planned project surface. That window shows you exactly how the Detailed scale brings texture and rhythm into a smaller space.
