This concerns an authentic roll of vintage upholstery fabric, produced by the renowned Leo Schellens weaving mill. The material, known as Velours d'Utrecht or velvet, dates from the 1950s or 1960s and represents an important piece of Dutch textile heritage. The fabric originates from the former Van Reeuwijk furniture upholstery workshop in Rotterdam, which contributes to the historical context of the object.
The fabric is made of high-quality velvet and is characterized by a rich, deep red to purple color scheme with a subtle woven stripe pattern. The texture is full and luxurious, typical of Leo Schellens' traditional production methods. The material is supplied as 'deadstock', meaning it has remained unused since the original production period. The original paper labels from Van Reeuwijk are still present.
The condition of this vintage fabric is excellent, considering its age. The material has retained its original sheen and color depth. The fabric has been carefully preserved, ensuring that its structural integrity remains fully intact. This Velours d'Utrecht is particularly suitable for the restoration of mid-century modern furniture or as an exclusive material for contemporary upholstery projects. The deep color and rich texture add an element of classic elegance to both vintage and modern interiors.
