v = velour

On a second look I think the material of this lectern cloth in the Norman church at St Cross is actually damask. (Which is a shame as that begins with 'd'!)

In any case, I think the main colour is just stunning!

I will call it close enough. And of course it is a lovely purple colour.

Beautiful colors.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

You could say it violet and although I can't run my hand over it, it does look velvety to me too. Whatever the material is, it's still quite pretty!

[Margo]

beautiful workmanship

[Rosie Kerr]

Such a rich color... no wonder you love it!

[Robyn]

The colours are lovely

Now if you hadn't told any of us that it might be damask, we wouldn't have known and you could have gottten by with it! So let's just say it is velour!!! Like you said, it's beautiful and that's what counts!! Beautiful close up and wonderful lighting!! FAV!
