Shiraz Polyester Throw - Emerald

The Shiraz throw is a woven polyester piece measuring 130 x 170cm, built around a large-scale damask floral in warm gold and tan set against a deep emerald green ground. The pattern has real weight and depth to it, with the raised floral motifs reading almost like a jacquard chenille, and one edge is finished with a long twisted bullion fringe in a soft champagne gold. It is a single generous size, roomy enough to drape across a double bed or fold over the arm of a sofa without looking lost.

This is a throw for a room that leans warm and traditional. The emerald and gold pairing sits naturally against dark wood furniture, a leather chair or a richly painted wall, and the third photograph shows it working over a mahogany sleigh bed alongside matching pillows. Use it as a bed runner folded across the foot of the bed, as an extra layer over a plain green or cream duvet, or thrown over a settee where the fringed edge can hang and catch the light. It brings pattern and colour to a corner that needs it without asking you to redecorate around it.

The throw is made from 100% polyester, which holds colour well, resists creasing and stands up to regular handling, so a busy living room or a bed that gets daily use suits it. The woven design runs through the cloth rather than sitting on the surface as a print, and the twisted fringe is a decorative finish along one edge. Being polyester, it is a practical everyday fabric that keeps its shape. Style it with plain textures nearby so the pattern stays the focus, and let the fringe do the detailing.

What size is the Shiraz throw?

What is the throw made from?

It is made from 100% polyester, a hard-wearing fabric that holds its colour, resists creasing and copes well with everyday use.

Is the pattern printed or woven?

The damask floral is woven through the cloth rather than printed on top, which gives the design its depth and raised texture and means it will not wear off the surface.

Does the fringe run all the way round?

No, the twisted bullion fringe is a decorative finish along one edge, as shown in the photographs, rather than running around the full perimeter.

What does the emerald and gold colouring suit?

The deep green ground with warm gold and tan floral works well with dark wood furniture, leather seating and richly coloured walls in a traditional setting.
