About this fabric

This plain cotton velvet is shown in a deep pear tone, sitting between olive green and ochre rather than reading as a bright yellow-green. The short pile gives the cloth a softly directional nap, with brushed areas appearing deeper and raised areas picking up a gentle sheen. The close-up reveals a fine, even velvet surface without a visible motif or pattern. No performance features or further specification data are noted for this colourway.

How to use it

Pair this warm, muted pear-olive with natural timber, aged brass and soft cream upholstery for an enveloping scheme. On a statement chair or headboard, its changing nap will add depth without introducing a separate pattern.

Use this deep pear-olive velvet on an accent chair, headboard or sofa where its changing nap can catch the light.

Medici Luxury Cotton Velvet in Pear 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.
