Boho Velvets Old Gold

Icaria and Boho Velvets VelvetSAF0133-09

Boho Velvets Old Gold is a rich, warm velvet with a softly mottled surface and a deep golden-brown glow. The pile catches the light unevenly, giving the cloth a lived-in, tactile richness rather than a flat metallic shine.

About this fabric

This Sanderson velvet has a usable width of 140 cm and a substantial 765 gsm weight, which supports its clearly upholstered feel. The cloth reads as warm old gold with amber and ochre undertones, darkened by the shadow in the pile to create a muted, earthy depth. At 48 threads per cm, the surface looks tightly woven and fine in structure beneath the plush velvet finish. With no pattern repeat, it presents as a plain fabric, making the colour and texture the focus of the design.

How to use it

This old-gold shade works well on statement seating, especially when paired with walnut, bronze, or tobacco leather. It also brings a warm, mellow glow to a reading chair or ottoman in a room with deep green or charcoal accents.

Use with dark timber and deep neutrals to let the golden pile glow.

Boho Velvets Old Gold 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.
