Cosmos Velvet II Tawny

Cosmos Velvet II Tawny is a deep, warm brown velvet with a softly clouded surface rather than a printed motif. Its shifting nap catches the light in muted tan and chocolate-brown tones, giving the plain cloth a quietly dimensional finish.

About this fabric

This plain velvet has a richly earthy tawny colour, with irregular lighter passages across the surface that reveal the direction of the pile. The dense-looking nap and warm brown depth give it a luxe, enveloping character suited to upholstered furniture. At approximately 137cm wide, it is specified for curtains and fixed upholstery, with a composition of 24% cotton and 76% polyester. The fabric is graded for Contract and General Domestic use and should be dry cleaned.

How to use it

Use this tawny brown on a club chair, sofa or headboard to bring grounded warmth to a room, pairing it with aged timber, camel leather or soft cream textiles. As curtains, its darker tone can frame windows with a cocooning, softly light-catching presence.

A richly toned tawny velvet for upholstered seating, headboards or full-length curtains, with softly varied nap adding depth.

Pairs well with

Cosmos Velvet II Tawny 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.
