About this fabric

This heavy 416 gsm velvet is dominated by a near-black maple-brown tone, while muted lichen and aged-gold highlights pick out the layered floral and foliate pattern. The close-set arrangement includes large sunflower-like blooms, pointed leaves, berry clusters and curling stems, creating a richly decorative surface rather than an open floral. With a 62 cm vertical repeat and 66.5 cm horizontal repeat, the pattern has a substantial scale that suits feature upholstery where its full rhythm can be appreciated. The fabric has a 134 cm usable width and 57.7 threads per cm, supporting its structured, hard-wearing upholstery character.

How to use it

Place this dark, antique-toned velvet on a feature armchair, ottoman or compact sofa, pairing it with tobacco leather, walnut timber and quiet oatmeal upholstery to bring out the lichen-gold detailing.

Use this richly patterned dark velvet on statement upholstery, balancing its antique gold foliage with plain warm neutrals.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Sunflower Velvet Maple/Lichen 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.
