British Rail Festival of Britain Horse Chestnut Moquette Fabric Sold by the Metre

This moquette gently whispers luxury and indeed, it was used in First Class Pullman carriages and the Great Northern Railway’s Director’s Saloon. Even the name implies high class railway living. If you’ve ever had the privilege of taking the Orient Express, you might recognise it too. First applied in the 1950s, it’s still a favorite on preserved railways. And unlike many of the other railway moquette’s available today, you could be forgiven for thinking it was merely a luxury pile fabric with a universal design. Take yourself back to the days of silver service, three course dinners with an ever-changing view, cheeseboard and vintage port… all aboard a train that resembles a palace. Whether you’re a train enthusiast or simply a home-maker in need of a pinch of luxury, this classic design is ideal for cushions and will add sumptuous comfort to your home.

Perhaps the most rewarding projects are the ones you design and complete yourself. We sell moquette off the roll, by the linear metre, for your own upholstery and handicraft endeavours. Whether you fancy a set of 4 dining chairs in your favourite design, a footstool in that fabric you travelled to school on or even your own crafting in the fabric you fell in love on , we have rolls of moquette to choose from. Top tip: Moquette looks great when mounted and framed too. 

Diameter is 125cm and all orders are sent as a continuous piece unless otherwise agreed.
