King's Velvet Mink

Historic Royal Palaces VelvetBF10658.285

King's Velvet Mink is a plain velvet with a softly clouded surface, shifting between muted taupe, warm brown and grey as the nap catches the light. Its quiet, finely mottled appearance gives the colourway depth without introducing a printed motif.

About this fabric

The close view shows a dense velvet surface with subtle tonal variation rather than a flat, uniform colour. Mink taupe-brown sits at the centre of the shade, with cooler grey-brown passages and lighter highlights appearing across the nap. At 140 cm (55") wide, it is specified for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads. The composition is 69% viscose, 19% cotton and 12% polyester, with a 50,000 Martindale rub test; care is professional dry cleaning only, with no washing, bleaching or ironing.

How to use it

Use this muted mink taupe on a reading chair, sofa or upholstered headboard where its light-catching pile can add restrained luxury. It also brings gentle warmth to full-length curtains or a bedspread without overpowering stronger timber, stone or patterned furnishings.

A richly tactile mink-toned velvet with enough durability for upholstery and the depth to make elegant curtains or bedspreads.

Pairs well with

King's Velvet Mink 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.
