Epoque Oyster

Timeless Velvets Velvet

Epoque Oyster appears in the image as an almost-white oyster shade with a gentle warmth rather than a stark, cool white. The uninterrupted surface gives this velvet colourway a calm, pared-back presence.

About this fabric

This colourway is catalogued as Velvet and reads visually as a plain, softly light-catching surface, with no visible motif or contrasting weave in the swatch image. Its warm ivory-oyster tone is muted and creamy, creating less visual hardness than a pure white. The close, even appearance gives the shade a polished, quietly luxurious character. No performance features are noted for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Epoque Oyster where a room needs a light upholstered foundation without the sharper feel of bright white: it suits tailored seating, headboards and occasional chairs alongside warm timber, aged metal or deeper neutral accents.

The softly luminous oyster tone brings a quiet, refined finish to upholstered seating and occasional pieces.

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.
