velvet
Velvet dates back to before the
first millenium and has crossed
the world’s 5 continents.
By the thirteenth century, production of the cloth, made entirely
from silk, had become established
in western Europe, where the
expertise in velvet-weaving was
restricted at this period to various Italian cities such as Lucca
and Florence.
VELVET
A fabric for all
e first English reference to velvet is that in 1278,
an epoque when velvet got increasingly popular
amongst the nobility for drapery, upholstery and
clothing. Its use was, however, limited to the
wealthiest noblemen: it was at this time woven by
hand using a very labour intensive process, thus
was very expensive.
ese days, the process is fortunately different.
rough extensive research, Wardé has identified
the finest mechanically woven velvets, offering
much more reasonable prices for products that still
have that air of nobility!

Upholstery
Reliable in many ways
When properly taken care of, velvet fabrics have a long life expectancy
which explains why they are widely used in upholstery.
We assure you, upholstery velvet has excellent durability. Even so, here’s our
word of advice: to keep it looking good, it is helpful to vacuum it occasionally
using a brush aachment. is reduces the build up of any dust which could
otherwise dull the colour of the fabric.
In addition to its color, the luminosity of velvet is permanent. Abrasion, the
fabric’s resistance to rubbing, is of the highest in the world of fabrics.
Curtains
Curtains
Elegant, practical
wall-robe
Velvet curtain fabric is recommended for curtains: it drapes
well, has excellent acoustic and thermal insulation properties (so your house will be warm and quiet) and is hard to
damage so it will remain looking pristine for a longer time
than other fabrics.
Originally made from silk, velvet was extremely expensive.
It had always been linked to wealthy period homes and the
aristocracy. If you wish to add a lile class to your home,
Wardé encourages the use of velvet for the curtains. Modern
curtain velvet fabric is made from polyester or other
synthetic fibres and, as such, is robust and oen washable.
