Misc Velvet

Medici Luxury Cotton Velvet in Claret appears as a rich, near-black claret red, with the plush surface shifting subtly as the nap catches the light. Its depth gives the plain velvet an enveloping, luxurious presence.

About this fabric

This swatch is catalogued as a luxury cotton velvet from Andrew Martin’s Misc collection. The dense, even surface is visually plain, while directional changes in the pile create soft bands of burgundy shadow and wine-red sheen across the cloth. The colour is saturated and warm rather than bright, reading as a deep red with a dusky plum edge in the darker areas. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use the deep claret tone on a statement armchair, sofa or dining seat where its plush nap can be seen changing with the light. Pair it with warm timber, aged brass or quieter neutral textiles to let the saturated red remain the focal point.

Use this deep claret velvet to bring saturated colour and plush texture to upholstered seating.

Medici Luxury Cotton Velvet in Claret is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
