curtain VelvetHOH-C-1-FA-CPN-VE-UMB-XXX-XXX

CASPIAN Velvet Curtain in Umber brings a deep, shadowy presence to the window, combining dark olive-brown velvet with irregular black striping. In the image, the pleated cloth reads as richly layered, with highlights appearing softly across the folds.

About this fabric

The Umber colourway moves between earthy brown and muted olive green, while the black, loosely tiger-like markings give the surface a dramatic organic rhythm. Its velvet face catches the light unevenly, shifting from subdued green-brown highlights to near-black recesses within the pleats. The fabric is shown as full-length curtains, where the repeated vertical folds emphasise both the pattern and its dense, luxurious appearance. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair the dark olive-umber ground with warm timber, aged brass and soft ivory walls to balance its black striping. Used across a broad window, the deep tone will give a room a moody, enveloping character.

Use this dark olive-umber velvet at windows where its black organic striping and soft sheen can create a richly atmospheric finish.
