Gramercy Sienna

Name: Gramercy Sienna
Brand: Mark Alexander

Gramercy Sienna is a deep, warm brown velvet with the earthy red undertone suggested by its sienna name. Its plush surface appears softly mottled, with subtle shifts in tone that give the plain fabric depth.

About this fabric

This Mark Alexander fabric is catalogued as velvet, and the close-up shows a dense-looking pile with a gently brushed, uneven finish. The colour sits between dark chocolate brown and muted rust, creating a warm, grounded appearance rather than a cool neutral. Soft changes in the nap catch the light across the surface, producing shadowed brown areas alongside warmer sienna highlights. With no performance features noted in the supplied specification, its defining character is the tactile depth and rich tonal variation visible in the velvet.

How to use it

Use Gramercy Sienna on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard where its warm brown-rust tone can anchor a room. Pair it with aged timber, bronze metal and quietly patterned textiles to reinforce its depth without competing with the mottled pile.

Use this richly toned velvet to bring warmth and depth to upholstered seating.

Gramercy Sienna 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.
