About this fabric

Dante Bordeaux is catalogued as a Velvet in Dedar’s Velvet fabrics collection. The swatch appears as a near-solid field of deep Bordeaux red, with a warm wine-like cast rather than a bright scarlet. A fine, low-relief nap creates a softly mottled texture, while gentle changes in direction add understated tonal movement across the plain face. No performance features or further technical specifications are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this dense wine-red shade to anchor an upholstered armchair, sofa or headboard, particularly where its warm depth can sit against quiet neutrals. Pair it with aged timber, antique brass or muted blush tones to soften the intensity of the Bordeaux colour.

A rich wine-red velvet with a softly shifting nap for elegant upholstery.

Dante Bordeaux 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.
