Dante Sienna

Dante Sienna is a rich, single-tone velvet with a warm brown-red cast that reads deep and enveloping in the pile. The surface has a soft, even nap that gives the colour a quiet glow rather than a high gloss shine.

About this fabric

From Colefax and Fowler’s Dante Velvet collection, this colourway is a 100% cotton velvet with no visible repeat, making the focus fall entirely on its tonal depth and plush texture. The 140cm approximate width gives a practical upholstery scale, while the colour sits between brick and burnished brown, with a sienna warmth that becomes darker in the shadows. Under light, the pile lifts to reveal subtle red-earth notes rather than a flat brown, which adds richness to the cloth. Care code Q 8 < T 3 and fire code √CM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Dante Sienna on a shaped armchair, banquette or headboard where the warm, grounded colour can take centre stage. It pairs well with aged brass, walnut and creamy neutrals, especially in rooms that need a deeper, more enveloping accent.

The warm, low-sheen sienna works beautifully on tailored seating and grounded accent pieces.

Pairs well with

Dante Sienna 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.
