Tigris Velvet Flame

Name: Tigris Velvet Flame
Brand: Emma Shipley
SKU: CCF0313-01

Tigris Velvet Flame places vivid orange and rust-striped tigers against a deep charcoal ground, overlaid with a shadowy, irregular animal-skin texture. The velvet surface gives the dark background a subtle directional depth while the illustrated animals remain richly defined.

About this fabric

This 340 gsm velvet combines a deep charcoal background with saturated flame-orange tigers, black striping and warmer rust shading across their bodies and curling tails. Small circular silver-grey details punctuate the design between the large animal motifs, adding a cool glint to the otherwise warm orange palette. The pattern has a 55.5 cm vertical repeat and a 46.5 cm horizontal repeat, making the placement of the full figures important when cutting upholstery. It is supplied at a 138 cm usable width, with a standard length of 40 m.

How to use it

Use Tigris Velvet Flame on a statement armchair, footstool or headboard where the charcoal ground can sit alongside blackened wood, smoked metal and warm amber accents. Keep surrounding upholstery calmer so the flame-orange tigers provide the room’s focal colour.

Use the charcoal ground to anchor the vivid flame-orange tigers on statement upholstery.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Tigris Velvet Flame 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.
