Shiraz Jacquard Chenille Throw - Burgundy

This is the Shiraz throw, a jacquard woven piece measuring 130 x 170cm. The design is a floral damask in gold, set against a deep burgundy red ground, with a soft chenille-style hand to the fabric. Running down each long side is a twisted gold fringe, the kind that gives a throw real presence when it is folded over the foot of a bed or draped along the arm of a sofa. The whole piece is 100% polyester, so the colour stays saturated and the pattern holds its definition wash after wash of ordinary use.

A throw like this earns its place in a room that already has some warmth to it. On a bed it works folded lengthways across the foot, where the fringe hangs clear of the mattress and reads as a finished edge rather than a stray blanket. Across a sofa or an armchair it adds a layer of colour and a little weight in the hand. The burgundy and gold palette sits naturally with dark wood, brass and warm-toned walls, and the traditional damask pattern suits a room that leans classic rather than pared back. It is designed to match the Shiraz bedspread and pillowcase, so if you already own either, this ties the look together.

The construction is worth understanding before you buy. It is lined on the reverse with a gold non-slip backing, which is what keeps it sitting where you place it rather than sliding off a made bed. That backing, together with the woven jacquard face and the twisted fringe, is why this throw is dry clean only. Treat it gently and it will keep its shape and its shine. It belongs to the wider Shiraz range, so the throw, bedspread and sham can be bought together or built up over time.

What does the gold lining on the back do?

The reverse carries a gold non-slip backing, which grips the surface underneath so the throw stays put on a made bed or a sofa rather than sliding off.

How should I clean this throw?

It is dry clean only. The woven jacquard face, the twisted fringe and the lined back all mean it should be treated gently and not put through a home wash.

Will it match the rest of the Shiraz range?

Yes. It is made specifically to coordinate with the Shiraz bedspread and pillowcase, so the pattern and colours line up across the whole set.

How big is it and where does it work best?

It measures 130 by 170cm, which suits folding across the foot of a bed or draping over a sofa or armchair to add colour and a bit of weight.

Is the fringe on all four sides?

The twisted gold fringe runs down each of the two long sides, so it frames the throw along its length while the short ends stay clean.
