About this fabric
From the Dante Velvet collection by Colefax and Fowler, this fabric is 100% cotton and measures approximately 140cm wide, with a vertical and horizontal repeat of 0cm, making it a plain velvet with no pattern shift to worry about. The colour is a shadowy amethyst, leaning toward plum and wine rather than bright violet, so it feels rich and restrained rather than vivid. Its dense velvet pile absorbs light at the centre and lifts slightly at the edges, which adds a subtle tonal movement across the surface. With its upholstery-friendly weight and fire code √CM, it is well suited to hardworking furniture where a deep, atmospheric colour is wanted.
How to use it
Use this in a dimmer sitting room, library, or bedroom where the dark plum tone can anchor timber, brass, and pale upholstery. It also works beautifully on a statement chair or sofa, where the velvet pile can show off its depth and sheen.
A rich, jewel-toned velvet that adds depth and drama to tailored seating or statement drapery.

Pairs well with
Dante Amethyst 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.
