{"product_id":"cole-and-son-balabina","title":"Cole \u0026 Son | Balabina","description":"\u003cp\u003eFeya Balabina danced with the Kirov, and the collection this design belongs to is named for the theatre that company came from. The paper itself has an older history: it began as a block print in the Cole \u0026amp; Son archive and has been redrawn for screen printing, a change that allows finer detail and a far larger repeat than blocks ever permitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe redrawing added a hoopoe, a bird with a fanned crest and barred wings, and one of the more decorative subjects in European ornithology. It sits within a damask structure of foliage and scroll, and its presence changes the register of the whole design, turning a formal repeating pattern into something with a subject in it. The eye goes to the bird first and finds the damask afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe repeat runs to just over a metre, which is large by any measure, and the half-drop match staggers it across widths so the birds distribute rather than line up. Both facts matter at the ordering stage: a repeat this long needs allowance on every drop. It belongs in a room with height, a first-floor drawing room, a stair hall, a dining room with a good ceiling. It is worth hanging above a dado, where the repeat has room to complete.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cole \u0026 Son","offers":[{"title":"White on Yellow","offer_id":57800188133758,"sku":"108\/1001","price":153.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Parchment on Stone","offer_id":57800188166526,"sku":"108\/1002","price":153.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Metallic Gilver on Linen","offer_id":57800188199294,"sku":"108\/1003","price":153.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red on Crimson","offer_id":57800188232062,"sku":"108\/1004","price":153.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Teal on Midnight","offer_id":57800188264830,"sku":"108\/1005","price":153.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - White on Yellow","offer_id":57800188297598,"sku":"SAMPLE-108\/1001","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Parchment on Stone","offer_id":57800188330366,"sku":"SAMPLE-108\/1002","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Metallic Gilver on Linen","offer_id":57800188363134,"sku":"SAMPLE-108\/1003","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Red on Crimson","offer_id":57800188395902,"sku":"SAMPLE-108\/1004","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Teal on Midnight","offer_id":57800188428670,"sku":"SAMPLE-108\/1005","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/9880\/0766\/files\/Balabina_Image_Flatshot_Item_108-1001.jpg?v=1785945689","url":"https:\/\/shop.tobiasoliverinteriors.com\/products\/cole-and-son-balabina","provider":"Tobias Oliver","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
