Sansone Nero

About this fabric

This Dedar Velvet fabric is shown in a deep Nero black, with an even surface and only a quiet directional sheen rather than a visible motif. The dense-looking pile gives the colour a soft, almost charcoal quality where the light catches it, while the centre remains richly dark. As no composition, width, rub-test or performance specification has been supplied for this exact fabric, those details should be confirmed before ordering.

How to use it

Use Sansone Nero to give an armchair, sofa or headboard a grounded, enveloping presence; its near-black tone works especially well where you want upholstery to read as a deep architectural accent rather than a bright feature.

A near-black velvet with a restrained sheen for richly upholstered seating and statement pieces.

Pairs well with

Sansone Nero 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.
