Rhythm Antique is a warm antique-bronze velvet marked by irregular vertical bands in deeper brown. Its plush surface catches the light unevenly, giving the stripes a softly aged, dimensional finish.

About this fabric

This Clarke & Clarke Tempo Velvets fabric has a 143 cm usable width, a 40 m standard length and a substantial 387 gsm weight. The visible design is formed from narrow, loosely irregular vertical stripes, with darker brown edges breaking into lighter bronze-tan centres. The pattern has a 4.5 cm horizontal repeat and no vertical repeat, so the striping continues uninterrupted along the length. The velvet pile shifts between muted brown and glowing antique bronze as the light moves across it.

How to use it

Use this warm, earthy colourway on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard, pairing its antique bronze depth with dark timber, aged brass and cream upholstery accents. The irregular vertical striping can also add gentle height to a compact seating piece.

Warm antique bronze velvet with irregular dark striping and a softly directional sheen for rich upholstered seating.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Rhythm Antique without fighting it. 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.
