King's Velvet Gold

Historic Royal Palaces VelvetBF10658.830

King's Velvet Gold is a rich, plain velvet with a deep antique-gold tone that shifts into brown across the softly brushed surface. Its close nap catches the light in cloudy, subtly varied patches rather than a flat block of colour.

About this fabric

The shade combines warm ochre gold with earthy brown undertones, giving the velvet a grounded, historic depth. A fine, directional nap creates gentle tonal movement across the face, with lighter glints where the pile changes direction. It is woven from 69% viscose, 19% cotton and 12% polyester, with a 140 cm (55") width. The 50,000 Martindale rub test supports its specified use for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads. Care is professional dry cleaning only; do not wash, bleach or iron.

How to use it

Use this antique golden-brown velvet to add warm depth to a reading chair, sofa or upholstered headboard, or let its light-catching nap enrich full curtains. It works particularly well with dark timber, aged brass and muted earthy neutrals.

Its deep golden-brown nap brings warm, quietly opulent depth to upholstery, curtains and bedspreads.

Pairs well with

King's Velvet Gold 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.
