Rivington Black Velvet Fabric offers a bold reimagining of traditional chinoiserie, merging vivid hand-painted florals with a dramatic, charcoal velvet ground. Bursts of rust, soft white and inky green foliage create a rich botanical tapestry, further deepened by the natural sheen of the plush velvet pile. The detailed repeat has an elegant fluidity, bringing both movement and refinement to the design.
Evocative of lush oriental gardens at twilight, this ornamental floral fabric sits beautifully within heritage schemes, or layered in eclectic, maximalist interiors. Luxurious to the touch and visually striking, it’s a statement choice for upholstery, curtains and soft furnishings where both craftsmanship and character shine.
Available in None FR, Standard FR (BS 5852:1) and Crib 5 (BS 5852:2006 Clause 11) treatments, ensuring suitability across residential drapery and upholstery, as well as commercial and hospitality settings.
Pile direction: all pieces must be cut in the same direction or they will reflect light differently and read as two colours.
Shading: velvet naturally appears lighter or darker depending on your viewing angle. This is inherent to the fabric, not a fault.
Grinning: digital printing sits on the pile surface. Stretching over a tight frame can reveal the base cloth beneath. A natural characteristic, not a fault.
Upholstery projects: please consult your maker before ordering to confirm suitability, quantity and cutting plan.

Delivery to the Scottish Highlands, offshore islands and some remote postcodes may take a little longer, and any surcharge is calculated and shown at checkout.
International delivery takes 2 to 10 working days, sent tracked and Delivery Duty Paid, so all taxes and duties are included in the price you pay with no surprise charges on arrival.
