Here, ’Dark Floral II Black Saturated’, an original botanical print inspired by the still life paintings of the Dutch Golden Age, is printed on silk satin, a medium weight (82 g/m2), relatively opaque (compared to our voile and charmeuse), 100% silk fabric with a shiny, satin finish.

This is one of Ellie’s favorite products in the collection. Show-stopping curtains, scarves and clothing items can be created from this luxurious material.

‘Dark Floral II Black Saturated’ prints crisply and beautifully on this silk satin fabric, with all the subtle variation in color that you could wish for.

The large scale of the flowers is imposing and dramatic, while at the same time, the silk satin lends the motif a fluid and delicate quality. We like to juxtapose these soft, flowing fabrics with heavy materials. Cascading silk curtains create a nice contrast to rustic wood furniture, concrete floors, metal fixtures, brick walls, ceramic and stone. Billowing, silk-shiny folds compliment leather, wool, textured knits, or gold jewelry in simple, geometric forms.

Our silk satin comes on a roll and has a usable width of 130 cm (51”). It can be dry cleaned and ironed at a medium temperature. For more information, please see the Product Specifications at right.
