Chenille fabrics Fabric015

Belsuede Presque Noir reads as a deep charcoal-black chenille with a softly mottled surface. Fine vertical striations catch the light gently, keeping the near-black tone from appearing completely flat.

About this fabric

This Dedar chenille has a close, even weave and a subtle linear texture visible across the swatch. Its almost-black charcoal tone feels cool, grounded and quietly dramatic, while the fine variation in the surface adds depth at close range. The cloth is catalogued as a fabric and is best suited to upholstery based on its substantial-looking woven handle. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Belsuede Presque Noir on a tailored sofa, armchair or dining seat where its deep charcoal tone can anchor pale walls, warm timber and brushed metal. Keep surrounding textiles lighter or softly textured so the near-black upholstery remains dimensional rather than severe.

Use this near-black, subtly striated chenille to give upholstery a tailored, quietly dramatic finish.

Pairs well with

Belsuede Presque Noir 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.
