Regina Onyx

The house has discontinued this one. We are keeping the page so the link still works, but we can no longer order it. There are alternatives below, and if you have a cutting or a photograph we will help you match it.

Regina Onyx is a deep black velvet with a smoky charcoal cast and a visibly clouded surface. Its low-key tonal variation gives the cloth depth without introducing a defined motif.

About this fabric

This heavy 675 gsm velvet reads as near-black overall, while charcoal-grey areas emerge where the pile catches the light across the swatch. The surface has a softly mottled, atmospheric appearance rather than a regular printed or woven pattern, consistent with its 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat. At 140 cm usable width, Regina Onyx is a substantial textile for upholstery, with a dense construction of 53 threads per cm. The standard length is 30 m, making it suitable for coordinated upholstery requirements where a continuous run is needed.

How to use it

Pair this smoky black-charcoal colourway with aged timber, brushed metal or pale stone to make its shifting velvet surface visible against lighter surroundings. It is especially effective on deep seating, occasional chairs and other pieces intended to anchor a room with a darker, luxe tone.

Use this deep, softly variegated black velvet to bring moody depth to upholstered seating and statement pieces.

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