Performance Velvets Saffron

About this fabric

This plain velvet is supplied at 141 cm usable width and has a substantial 540 gsm weight, giving the cloth a full, upholstered presence. Its warm saffron-gold colour sits between rich yellow and antique gold, with lighter bands appearing where the pile changes direction. The surface has a close, even nap and a soft lustre rather than a sharp shine. With a 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat, it can be cut without aligning a design.

How to use it

Use the deep saffron-gold tone on a statement armchair, headboard or bench, pairing it with warm timber, cream upholstery and aged brass for a richly layered scheme. Its changing velvet sheen can also add depth to full drapery in a room that needs a concentrated note of colour.

Use this warm saffron-gold velvet to bring plush colour and softly reflective depth to upholstery or rich drapery.

Pairs well with

Performance Velvets Saffron 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.
