Jungle is a beautiful cut velvet carrying a leopard motif, an animal pattern of the enduring kind rather than the fashionable kind. The velvet construction is what distinguishes the subject: the motif is carved in pile, so it is felt as well as seen, and the surface takes light the way only cut velvet does. Used on a chair, an ottoman or cushions, it behaves as decorators have long known leopard does, as a near neutral with presence.
