Name: Nuvolari Ebano

Nuvolari Ebano is a deep ebony-brown velvet with a quiet, shadowed appearance. Its close surface shows subtle tonal variation across the nap, giving the plain swatch more depth than a flat brown.

About this fabric

The dark brown ground reads almost black at the edges, while the centre reveals warmer chocolate undertones where the pile catches the light. A softly mottled nap creates understated movement without a discernible motif or repeat. As a velvet, it has the dense, plush visual character associated with upholstery rather than a fine, fluid drapery cloth. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Nuvolari Ebano on a deep sofa, club chair or upholstered headboard where its near-black brown tone can bring weight and intimacy to a room. Balance the dense shade with warm timber, aged brass or lighter textured textiles so the subtle nap remains visible.

A dark, richly toned velvet for enveloping upholstery, statement seating and refined accent pieces.

Nuvolari Ebano 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.
