Jocasta Velvet Red

Rosella VelvetF4522-01

Jocasta Velvet Red brings a richly faded coral-red ground to a classic damask layout, with cream and blue accents lifting the pattern. The velvet surface softens the ornate motif and gives it a gently worn, antique character.

About this fabric

This colourway reads as a warm coral red rather than a deep crimson, with a sun-faded look that lets the pattern sit into the pile instead of shouting from it. The design is a velvet with a substantial handle, and the supplied specification confirms a 132cm approximate width, a repeat of V 66cm / H 67cm approx, and a composition of 60% viscose, 30% cotton and 10% polyester. Cream, taupe and muted blue-green details trace the damask and small floral forms, creating a layered, timeworn surface that feels decorative without becoming glossy. The √BM fire code is noted, with no additional performance features supplied.

How to use it

Use it on an accent chair, ottoman or headboard where the warm red ground can add colour without overpowering the room. It works especially well with natural oak, aged brass and quiet ivory textiles that pick up the cream motifs.

Pairs well with aged wood and soft neutrals for a lively but tailored look.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Jocasta Velvet Red 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.
