About this fabric

The supplied catalogue type is Velvet, and the dense-looking surface is visibly suited to upholstery rather than a lightweight, fluid treatment. Its rich brown colour sits between dark chocolate and espresso, with the nap producing faint lighter and darker bands as it catches the light. There is no visible motif or contrasting weave, allowing the depth of the colour and restrained pile sheen to carry the design. No composition, width, rub-test or other performance specification has been supplied.

How to use it

Use Sansone Ebano on a statement armchair, sofa or ottoman where its dark espresso tone can bring warmth and depth to a room. Pair it with aged timber, brushed brass or lighter textured textiles to keep the rich velvet from feeling too heavy.

A deep espresso velvet with a quiet, light-catching nap for richly upholstered seating.

Sansone 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.
