Diamond Check Old Gold

Decorative Velvets II VelvetZOF0193-01

Diamond Check Old Gold combines muted golden bars with olive-grey and brown detailing in a tightly ordered geometric check. The velvet surface gives the subdued palette a soft, lightly shifting depth as it catches the light.

About this fabric

The design forms a compact lattice of horizontal old-gold blocks, brown vertical lines and small diamond-like intersections over an olive-grey ground. Its 11 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeats keep the check clearly defined without making the motif oversized. At 537 gsm, this is a substantial velvet suited to upholstery, with a 139 cm usable width for practical cutting on furniture projects. The specified 97 threads per cm support the fabric’s dense, richly textured appearance.

How to use it

Pair the warm, aged-gold tone with dark walnut, brown timber or charcoal-painted furniture to emphasise its depth. It works particularly well on a tailored armchair, headboard or compact sofa where the 11 cm check can remain visible.

Use this weighty old-gold velvet to bring quiet warmth and structured pattern to upholstered furniture.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Diamond Check Old Gold 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.
