I think they would have been mohair originally. Which, come to think of it, looks and feels like velvet with a somewhat scratchy pile. But yeah, dark jewel tones and solid colors, for sure. It's such a pity, too, because it looks like it was a quality reupholstering job, and it all needs to be done over.
