Do avoid appearing too much of a numbskull when I go into a
habberdashers to
ask about availability of such cloth - is there a generic or trade
name
for
that sort of open weave decorative cloth ?

I used to use a material called Rug Canvas which is a tough cross weave
of stiffened thin string, the 'holes' are about a quarter inch square,
It takes spray paint very well, and it`s very strong - if correctly
tensioned, you can stand on it.
There are dozens of firms selling repro grill cloth for Selmer/Vox/Wem
etc.

Was the paint for decorative effect or for stiffening ?
I may also try the local street with half a dozen Indian sari material
shops
as a lot of that is tinselised, maybe they have some use for a coarser,
open
weave, tinselised material.

Sari shops were no help but found a good material shop, Fabric Land, don't
know if its part of a chain.
No knowledge of Tygan or Tigan but some useful names are
"Aida", white to cream , so need dying or painting, open weave hessian sort
of material.
Some coarse muslins similar but come in darker colours.
Most likely is something called "Black Tea Bag" , but rather stretchy so
would need to be sparayed with starch or dilute PVA
My favourite was "Gothic Net", open weave black overlaid with tinselly
copper spider's webs but again would have to be stiffened.
All about 2.50 to 3.00 GBP per m run of 1.5m width or whatever such bolts
are.
