Nouveau No.12 Velvet Fabric
Nouveau Velvet No.12 draws inspiration from the glamour of classic Art Deco interiors, combining elegant shell-like fan motifs with a refined monochrome palette that feels effortlessly sophisticated. The repeating pattern creates a sense of rhythm and texture across the fabric, while the layered black, charcoal, silver-grey, and soft ivory tones bring depth and visual richness. The result is a decorative velvet fabric that feels luxurious, timeless, and highly versatile across a wide range of interior styles.
Printed onto a premium 100% polyester velvet basecloth, this is a printed velvet fabric rather than a woven fabric, allowing the intricate Art Deco detailing to remain crisp and beautifully defined. The soft velvet pile enhances the tonal contrasts within the design, creating subtle movement as light falls across the surface. With a durability rating of 40,000+ Martindale rubs, Nouveau Velvet No.12 offers both decorative impact and excellent performance for everyday use.
This elegant black velvet fabric is suitable for upholstery projects including sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, occasional seating, benches, footstools, ottomans, window seats, and bespoke headboards. It is equally effective as a black velvet curtain fabric, creating luxurious full-length curtains, Roman blinds, cushions, and decorative accessories. The monochrome palette makes it particularly easy to pair with contemporary interiors, marble surfaces, metallic finishes, dark painted walls, and layered neutral schemes.
Whether used to create a sophisticated statement sofa or to frame a room with dramatic curtains, Nouveau Velvet No.12 introduces decorative character without overwhelming a space. Samples are available to help assess the scale, colour, and texture before ordering, and the fabric can be purchased by the metre for projects of all sizes.
