About this fabric

The colour reads as a dense charcoal-black rather than a visibly blue or brown black. A fine, low-contrast texture is visible across the plain velvet surface, with only restrained tonal variation where the pile catches the light. As a catalogued Velvet fabric, it has the substantial appearance associated with upholstered furniture. No performance features are noted for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this deep black velvet on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard where its low-sheen surface can anchor a room. Pair it with warm timber, aged brass or pale textured walls to keep the near-black tone from feeling flat.

A deep, near-black velvet with a restrained surface texture, suited to tailored upholstery and dramatic dark interiors.

Young Nureyev Onice 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.
