Quietly textured and beautifully understated, Braemar Cobweb is a classic herringbone wool from the Chess collection. Its soft cobweb-grey and warm natural tones create a subtle woven pattern that brings depth to a room without the stronger visual structure of a check or tartan.
Handmade by Berry & Grouse in 100% wool, Braemar Cobweb is an exceptionally versatile lampshade for interiors built around natural materials and softened neutral colour. The fine herringbone weave gives the fabric movement and texture, while the muted palette works beautifully with chalk white, ecru, pale timber, wicker, stone and washed coastal blues.
Selected for The Coast House, Braemar Cobweb reflects the room's quieter approach to coastal styling: natural wool, weathered colour and tactile texture rather than overt seaside motifs.
Available across our standard lampshade shapes and sizes for table lamps, floor lamps, wall lights and ceiling lighting, according to the shade style and fitting selected.

HANDMADE IN THE BERRY & GROUSE WORKSHOP
Each Braemar Cobweb lampshade is individually handmade by Berry & Grouse using professional lampshade-making materials and 100% wool from the Chess collection.
The fine herringbone weave is positioned with care so that the direction and rhythm of the pattern remain balanced around the finished shade. On our drum lampshades, the fabric is kept on the straight, allowing the herringbone to run naturally around the frame. On smaller tapered candle clip shades, the fabric is positioned to complement the proportions and shape of the frame.
As a naturally woven wool fabric, subtle variations in yarn, texture and weave form part of its character. Combined with the handmade construction, this gives each finished lampshade its own subtle individuality.
Our drum lampshades are finished with a matt white lining, rolled edges and a single neat vertical seam. Other shade styles are constructed and finished according to their individual frame design.
Drum shades are cut on the straight of the windowpane check to create an orderly, structured finish.
Candle clip shades are cut on the angle, giving the smaller form a more characterful tailored pattern.
Exact line placement will vary slightly according to the fabric cut. Matching orders will be coordinated from the same batch wherever possible.
THE CHESS COLLECTION
The Berry & Grouse Chess House Fabric collection brings together a considered selection of woven wool designs, each offering a different interpretation of traditional pattern.
Balmoral brings the character of tartan and heritage check.
Kintyre offers a cleaner, structured windowpane check.
Braemar introduces the quieter texture of classic herringbone.
Lewis brings a broader, layered check with a softer and more relaxed character.Braemar is particularly useful where texture is wanted without a pronounced pattern. Its small-scale herringbone gives a lampshade depth and movement while remaining calm enough to work alongside stronger prints, checks and plains.
Each Chess design and colourway is catalogued individually within the Berry & Grouse House Fabric Registry, making it easier to explore the range by pattern, palette and character while keeping the wider Chess family connected.
THE COAST HOUSE
Braemar Cobweb has been selected for The Coast House, Berry & Grouse's lighter Estate Room inspired by refined coastal living.
The Coast House draws from pale sand, weathered timber, sea-washed stone, dune grasses, natural wool and chalky coastal colour rather than traditional nautical decoration.
Braemar Cobweb is particularly well suited to this setting. Its soft grey-brown herringbone has the character of sun-bleached driftwood and weathered stone, while the fine weave adds the quiet texture needed in an interior built around creams, ecrus and natural materials.
Style it with whitewashed timber, pale oak, washed wicker, ecru linen, cream wool, stone ceramics and soft blue-grey accents for a calm, layered coastal interior.
This is one of the more understated Coast House fabrics — ideal where texture and warmth are wanted without introducing a stronger check or decorative print.
