Gorgeous post and I'm all about velvet!! In my home office I have a 1920's glam Rococo-inspired canape in turqouise velvet with gilted wood frame. I set it off with fushia color family Jim Thompson silk pillows and it's divine!
Once they are worn in, they are mostly comfy. We had a tufted gold velvet sofa and chairs as our furniture when I was younger, I hated them then but wish I had them now!

The velvet sofas are lovely but I never really got beyond the sleeping dog. Sooooo sweet!
When I was a kidlet, we had a fantastic royal blue velvet/velour sofa that I WISH I had the foresight to keep (even though I was about 8 when it departed!) It went perfectly with our very Florence Broadhurst-esque blue, white and black 70's mod curtains. I hated them growing up, but looking back...they were so fantastic!
