About this fabric

This colourway shows a mellow beige tone with a faint rosy warmth, so it feels softer than a stark stone or ivory. As a 100% cotton velvet with no repeat and an approximate width of 140cm, it is a straightforward choice for bespoke upholstery where a clean, uninterrupted surface is wanted. The short pile gives the cloth a smooth, matte-lustrous finish that lifts the colour subtly in the light. Care code Q 8 < T 3 and fire code √CM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Dante Natural on a sofa, armchair or upholstered headboard when you want a restrained neutral with a little warmth. It pairs neatly with oak, linen whites and deeper tobacco or bronze accents.

A quiet warm neutral that sits easily on tailored seating or elegant drapery.

Pairs well with

Dante Natural 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.
