About this fabric

The velvet reads as a cool, subdued olive rather than a bright green, with darker charcoal shading through the pile. Light catches the surface unevenly, revealing delicate tonal shifts without a visible motif or pattern. This substantial-looking velvet is best judged for upholstery, and no performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use Alpaca Alto Militare on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard where its deep olive-charcoal tone can anchor pale stone, warm timber and brushed metal. Keep surrounding fabrics quieter to let the velvet’s changing nap provide the visual depth.

A dense-looking velvet in a deep olive-charcoal tone, with subtle nap variation that adds quiet depth to upholstery.

Pairs well with

Alpaca Alto Militare 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.
