About this fabric

The swatch reads as a cool, near-black anthracite grey rather than a warm charcoal, giving it a quiet and architectural depth. Fine variations in the velvet nap create softly lighter and darker passages as the surface catches the light. There is no visible motif or printed pattern, allowing the rich pile and restrained colour to provide the visual interest. This fabric is catalogued as Velvet; no composition, width, rub-test or performance specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Pair Dante Antracite with pale stone, chalky grey or smoked timber to bring definition without introducing a strong colour contrast. Its near-black tone is particularly effective on tailored seating, headboards or occasional upholstered pieces.

Use this deep anthracite velvet on upholstery where its subtle nap shifts gently with the light.

Pairs well with

Dante Antracite 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.
