{"product_id":"cole-and-son-chinese-toile","title":"Cole \u0026 Son | Chinese Toile","description":"\u003cp\u003eA toile de Jouy is a scene printed in one colour on a pale ground, a form invented in France in the seventeen-sixties to put narrative onto cloth cheaply. Chinese Toile applies the convention to chinoiserie subjects: pastoral vignettes of Far Eastern life, figures at leisure, small landscapes, each self-contained and scattered across the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an early Cole \u0026amp; Son design and it has been redrawn rather than simply reprinted, which shows in the linework, cleaner than the originals, with the etched detail holding up at a scale a modern room can take. The single-colour printing is what makes a busy design manageable: from a few feet away the vignettes merge into an even tone, and only close to does each scene become legible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat behaviour is why toiles work in small rooms as well as large ones. Hung throughout a cloakroom, a back stair, a small bedroom or a bathroom, the design supplies incident without weight. It has always been paired with painted timber and simple checked or plain cloth, and there is no good reason to depart from that; the pattern needs quiet around it to be read at all. Small rooms take it better than large ones, which is not true of most pictorial papers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cole \u0026 Son","offers":[{"title":"Ice Blue","offer_id":57800261403006,"sku":"100\/8038","price":138.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Parchment","offer_id":57800261435774,"sku":"100\/8039","price":138.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Spice on Soot","offer_id":57800261468542,"sku":"100\/8040","price":138.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ginger","offer_id":57800261501310,"sku":"100\/8041","price":138.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Ice Blue","offer_id":57800261534078,"sku":"SAMPLE-100\/8038","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Parchment","offer_id":57800261566846,"sku":"SAMPLE-100\/8039","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Spice on Soot","offer_id":57800261599614,"sku":"SAMPLE-100\/8040","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Ginger","offer_id":57800261632382,"sku":"SAMPLE-100\/8041","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/9880\/0766\/files\/ChineseToile_Image_Flatshot_Item_100-8038_707b109d-20c8-45b6-a3e2-28067f4682dd.jpg?v=1785945785","url":"https:\/\/shop.tobiasoliverinteriors.com\/products\/cole-and-son-chinese-toile","provider":"Tobias Oliver","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
