The Luxurious Allure of Beaumont & Fletcher’s Silk Velvet

When it comes to sumptuous, indulgent fabrics, few materials rival the inherent opulence of Silk Velvet and Beaumont & Fletcher’s collection is exemplary. Crafted from 100% pure silk, their Silk Velvet range embodies sophistication, elegance, and a tactile richness that instantly elevates interiors.

What Sets Beaumont & Fletcher’s Silk Velvet Apart?

At the heart of their offering are two flagship varieties: Capri and Como. Both are woven with exceptional care and precision to produce velvets with deep pile, dazzling colour, and a luxurious hand-feel.

– Capri Silk Velvet is noted for its dense, lush pile, yielding a lavish, classically opulent finish that suits a range of bespoke upholstery and soft furnishings.

– Como Silk Velvet, a stunning striè or “chine” fabric, is celebrated for its textural depth and dynamic surface. Woven in Italy from the finest natural fibres, it is visually rich, tactilely inviting, and remarkably durable.

A Palette of Depth and Movement

One of the most striking features of velvet collection is its colour palette. The Como collection comes in six beautifully nuanced hues Teal, Moss, Fern, Sage, Pompeiian Red, and Biscuit each offering depth and elegance that changes subtly depending on the light and angle

This movement in the pile lends drama and dimension to interiors. Picture a sumptuous Fern-tone armchair or a Pompeiian Red footstool, each piece becomes a focal point, full of allure and atmosphere.

Durability Meets Delicacy

Though indulgently soft, Silk Velvet from Beaumont & Fletcher is surprisingly robust. The Capri velvet, in particular, has been martindale-tested at around 19,000 rubs highly impressive for silk and ideal for both upholstery and soft furnishings

This durability, combined with the fabric’s regality, makes it perfect for applications where both luxury and longevity matter: opulent sofas, elegant headboards, and statement cushions.

The Perfect Canvas for Couture Embroidery

Beyond its standalone beauty, it serves as the ideal base for Beaumont & Fletcher’s couture embroidery. Its rich pile and lush texture complement hand-stitched embellishments, creating bespoke designs that are nothing short of artistic masterpieces

Whether used on cushions, wall panels, or even slipper chairs, embroidered pieces speak of heritage craft, attention to detail, and the union of innovative design with time-honoured techniques.

Practicality and Care

Caring for Silk Velvet need not be daunting. Beaumont & Fletcher recommend applications in both upholstery and soft furnishings, yet owing to silk’s delicate nature they advise gentle use. To preserve the plush pile, professional dry-cleaning is advisable, along with avoidance of prolonged direct sunlight to prevent colour fade.

Sample Service

To assist in the selection process, Beaumont & Fletcher provides samples of their Silk Velvet, allowing clients to experience the texture, colour, and pile depth before committing to metres of this exquisite fabric.

Styling Inspirations

Silk Velvet thrives in richly decorated spaces:

– Accent armchairs and footstools in jewel tones such as Teal or Pompeiian red draw the eye and add sophistication.

– Cushions layered in complementary shades create depth and tactile interest, especially when paired with embroidered motifs.

– Drapery and headboards crafted in Silk Velvet lend bedroom or living spaces a serene ambience.
