Rubelli
A 165-year-old Venetian weaver whose silks, velvets, and jacquards are still produced on antique looms restored from the Bevilacqua archive.
Brand overview
Rubelli has woven decorative silks and velvets in Venice since 1858 and today operates the Bevilacqua weaving mill alongside its own production. The house licenses Donghia and represents Armani Casa textiles internationally.
Rubelli supplies finished cloth at the bolt. It is a textile manufacturer — never a drapery installer or fabricator.

Questions about Rubelli
- Does Rubelli make blackout drapery?
- Rubelli supplies the face cloth. Blackout is achieved at the workroom by interlining the Rubelli velvet with a triple-pass blackout lining. House of Drapery handles that fabrication.
