About this fabric

At 416gsm, this substantial velvet has the weight and visual presence suited to upholstered furniture. The Black Earth ground reads as a rich near-black, while the muted brass pattern catches the light in broken, organic ribbons rather than sharp stripes. Its large-scale design repeats every 65.9cm vertically and 135.2cm horizontally, creating a strong directional effect across the 135.2cm usable width. With 57.7 threads per centimetre, the surface appears closely constructed and plush in the supplied swatch.

How to use it

Use this deep black-and-brass colourway on a statement chair, headboard or sofa where its warm metallic pattern can stand against dark timber, aged brass and ochre accents.

A dramatic black-and-brass velvet for statement upholstery and richly layered interiors.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Equidae Velvet Black Earth/Brass 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.
