The Brook Velvet Tapestry Red
Morris 160th Anniversary Fabric VelvetMOF0064-01
The Brook Velvet Tapestry Red turns a deep wine-red ground into a richly populated woodland scene, with deer, water, trees and layered foliage filling the view. Its dark red tone gives the botanical composition a distinctly dramatic, jewel-like depth.

About this fabric
The deep wine-red ground reads as a muted plum-red in the image, allowing the cream, sage, olive, teal and copper foliage to stand out without losing the pattern’s dark woodland mood. Deer gather among trees, streams and low grasses, while repeated leafy canopies and flowering shrubs create a large-scale, immersive tapestry effect. As a catalogued velvet weighing 416 gsm, this is a substantial textile suited to upholstery rather than delicate, fluid dressing. The 137 cm usable width carries a 90 cm vertical repeat and 137 cm horizontal repeat, so careful pattern placement can centre the animals and broader landscape elements.
How to use it
Use the wine-red ground to anchor a statement armchair, window seat or sofa, pairing it with aged timber, warm brown leather and small accents of olive, teal or antique brass. The dense woodland imagery works especially well as a focal upholstery fabric where the 90 cm repeat can be shown clearly.
Use this deep wine-red velvet on a statement chair or sofa, balancing its dense woodland scene with quiet, warm-toned plains.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside The Brook Velvet Tapestry Red without fighting it. 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.
