Gobelin uses a 53% cotton and 47% polyester composition. Its woven pattern provides a different decorative effect from a plain chenille or velvet, making motif scale an important part of the choice.
Surface, colour and suitability
A pattern can read differently on a broad sofa cushion and a smaller armchair back. Compare a sample with the actual upholstered areas, and consider where seams or buttoning will interrupt the motif.
The fibre blend describes the material rather than the care method of a finished piece. A removable cover and a fixed upholstered panel can require different handling even when they use the same fabric.
The Gobelin motif may meet differently across a cushion seam or around a curved back. Ask how the pattern will be arranged on the chosen model if that placement is important to the project. Category C identifies the upholstery price group, while the cotton-polyester blend and current article sheet provide the material reference.
