About this fabric

Catalogued as a velvet, Epoque Ottanio has the dense, softly textured appearance associated with a pile fabric rather than a flat woven surface. The colour sits between deep teal and blue-green, with darker areas appearing where the nap turns away from the light. A faint mottling across the swatch gives the plain colour added depth without introducing a visible motif or repeat. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use this cool, deep petrol teal to upholster a tailored armchair, ottoman or sofa, especially against warm timber, aged brass or pale neutral walls. Its changing nap will bring subtle movement to a room without relying on a pattern.

Use this deep petrol teal on a statement chair, sofa or ottoman where its velvet nap can catch the light.

Pairs well with

Epoque Ottanio 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.
