The deepest wine in our line. A red with no orange in it — built up from a base of plum, photographed against linen and lit warm. The color most often specified in libraries, dining rooms, and the corner of a sofa where a fire is lit.
Burgundy reads as serious without reading as heavy. We see it specified most often as the third pillow in a three-pillow set, where it picks up an undertone in a leather chair, an oxblood book spine, or the warm side of a marble fireplace. It pairs unexpectedly well with Camel and with Ice Blue — the latter is the move that has surprised us most.
It is the color we recommend when a designer wants weight without darkness in a south-facing room, or richness without theater in a library. It does not photograph well in cool light. Specify it where the lamps are warm.
A note on dye-lots: Burgundy varies more from lot to lot than most of our colors — small shifts toward plum or toward rust. We hold three lots of Burgundy on the wall at any time and will match to a swatch on request for trade orders of three or more.
