About this fabric

This Andrew Martin velvet is shown in a richly saturated raw umber, sitting between dark brown and warm burnt rust rather than reading as a neutral brown. The close, plain surface has no visible motif, while the nap creates gentle shifts from brighter russet highlights to deeper shaded areas. As a velvet, it is well suited to upholstery, particularly where its tactile pile and substantial visual depth can be appreciated. No additional performance features or specification data are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Raw Umber on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard to bring enveloping terracotta-brown warmth into a room. Pair it with aged timber, tobacco leather, muted creams or deep olive accents to balance its saturated tone.

A rich raw-umber velvet for upholstered seating, adding warm depth and softly shifting texture.

Medici Luxury Cotton Velvet in Raw Umber 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.
