About this fabric

This colourway shows a smooth, even velvet pile with a rich, low-sheen surface that catches the light in subtle olive notes rather than bright green. At 405gsm, it has the substantial weight expected of an upholstery velvet, and the 148cm usable width makes it practical for larger furnishing projects. With no vertical or horizontal pattern repeat, the fabric is straightforward to match and cut for clean, tailored work. The 102 threads per cm specification supports the close, refined handle visible in the swatch.

How to use it

Use this deep green velvet on an armchair, banquette or headboard where its muted tone can sit against oak, brass and warm neutrals. It also works well as a grounding accent in a room with natural textures and darker timber finishes.

A rich, grounded velvet that brings depth and quiet sophistication to tailored interiors.

Pairs well with

Dorton Cactus 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.
