Audubon Velvet Pink

Name: Audubon Velvet Pink
Brand: Emma Shipley
SKU: CCF0240-01

Audubon Velvet Pink is a richly illustrated velvet with a deep ink-navy ground and an expressive arrangement of dusky pink, mauve and pale plum birds. The dark background gives the curling foliage and layered feathers a jewel-like depth, while the velvet surface softens the intricate detail.

About this fabric

This 340 gsm velvet is suited to upholstery, offering a substantial handle for statement seating, headboards and other furniture applications. Its 138 cm usable width accommodates the full 138 cm horizontal pattern repeat, while the 68.5 cm vertical repeat gives the flying birds, perched birds and trailing botanical forms a clearly considered scale. The pink colourway is cool and moody rather than sugary, with muted mauve highlights standing out against the near-navy ground. Standard lengths are 40 m, making it practical for coordinated upholstery projects as well as individual feature pieces.

How to use it

Pair this cool navy-and-dusky-pink colourway with aged timber, dark painted furniture and muted blush or plum accents. On a statement armchair or ottoman, its large-scale birds can become the room’s main decorative focus.

Use this richly detailed navy-and-pink velvet on a statement chair, headboard or occasional sofa where its theatrical bird-and-foliage design can be fully appreciated.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Audubon Velvet Pink without fighting it. 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.
