About this fabric

The supplied catalogue identifies Sunday Opera as a velvet in Dedar’s Velvet fabrics collection. Its surface appears densely napped and even, with fine tonal variation where the pile changes direction. The colour is a deep, cool-leaning crimson red rather than a bright scarlet, creating a rich and composed impression. With no performance features or further specification data supplied, this colourway is best assessed visually as a substantial upholstery velvet.

How to use it

Use Sunday Opera on a statement armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard where its deep crimson tone can act as the room’s focal colour. Pair it with warm timber, aged brass or restrained neutrals to let the velvet’s subtle depth show.

Use this deep crimson velvet to bring saturated colour and a softly opulent finish to upholstered seating.

Sunday Opera 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.
