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.

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.
