The true heir to the velvet carpet crown

The stunning Richelieu Velours collection from Louis de Poortere is the true heir to the velvet carpet crown, offering beautiful colour clarity and underfoot luxury in a quality woven wilton construction for over 50 years.

The flagship of the Louis de Poortere collection, Richelieu is woven from 100% pure new wool to give the colours true depth and to allow even the lightest of tones to have a pureness and lucidity that is hard to better. Available in 42 colours, the collection includes a substantial group of neutrals, as well as standout shades such as a zingy orange, lime green, rich red, aqua and black. There are few luxurious wool velour collections that offer such scope.

Woven in a 4.57m width, with the top 10 colours also available in a super-wide 5.5m width, Richelieu Velours uses a two-ply yarn to give extra resilience and a superior finish that gives that unmistakable velvet-like quality only created by carpets woven to exacting standards.

“The Richelieu collection has often been imitated but never bettered,” explains Alan Russell, Louis de Poortere. “A true jewel in the collection, the carpet offers homes something individual, distinctive, of true quality and that lives up to Louis de Poortere’ status as one of carpet’s great manufacturers. It really is among the most beautiful of carpets and with such a great range of colours, one that is sure to retain its crown for years to come.”

Louis de Poortere also offers the top 10 colours of Richelieu under its Best Service programme. This commitment to reduce lead times, ensures that availability is never an issue, keeping the collection in-line with the shorter delivery times of less labour intensive tufted carpets. In addition, the Tailor Made rug service allows the customer to create a dramatic area rug finished with a choice of luxurious quality bindings.
