Osborne & Little | Marquise

Marquise takes its name from a jewellery setting, the elongated cut with pointed ends, and it behaves rather like metalwork itself. An all-over plain with a metallic finish, it has no motif at all, only surface, and that surface shifts as light moves across it through the day.

It earns its place where flat paint would fall short: halls, dining rooms, cloakrooms, rooms used mostly in the evening. The low sheen gives walls depth without adding pattern, and it makes a quiet, reflective ground for pictures and mirrors. Made in the United Kingdom.
