{"product_id":"cole-and-son-madras-violet","title":"Cole \u0026 Son | Madras Violet","description":"\u003cp\u003eMadras Violet dates from the 1860s and was originally block printed, which is a slow business: one block per colour, each registered by hand against pitch pins, the colour sitting on the surface of the paper in a distinct layer. The design has been recreated as a surface print, a process that keeps that raised, slightly chalky quality where a modern flat print would lose it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeveral of the original nineteenth-century colourings have been retained, and that decision shapes the whole character of the design. Victorian colour combinations were arrived at through the pigments then available as much as through taste as we would now define it, and the results have a particular oddness, pairings no contemporary studio would reach for, which is precisely why they still look fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pattern itself is a close, small-scale floral at a 53 cm straight repeat on a 0.52 m roll, so it fills a wall evenly and settles quickly. That suits it to rooms with a period frame: a panelled dining room, a bedroom in an older house, a hall where the joinery already carries the date. A straight match keeps the hanging simple. It is also a good ground for prints and mirrors, which the density of the drawing absorbs without argument.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cole \u0026 Son","offers":[{"title":"Purple \u0026 Olive on Cream","offer_id":57800221753726,"sku":"100\/12056","price":158.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lilac \u0026 Stone on Chalk","offer_id":57800221786494,"sku":"100\/12057","price":158.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fuchsia \u0026 Linen on Parchment","offer_id":57800221819262,"sku":"100\/12058","price":158.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow \u0026 Linen on Parchment","offer_id":57800221852030,"sku":"100\/12059","price":158.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Purple \u0026 Olive on Cream","offer_id":57800221884798,"sku":"SAMPLE-100\/12056","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Lilac \u0026 Stone on Chalk","offer_id":57800221917566,"sku":"SAMPLE-100\/12057","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Fuchsia \u0026 Linen on Parchment","offer_id":57800221950334,"sku":"SAMPLE-100\/12058","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Yellow \u0026 Linen on Parchment","offer_id":57800221983102,"sku":"SAMPLE-100\/12059","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/9880\/0766\/files\/MadrasViolet_Image_Flatshot_Item_100-12056.jpg?v=1785945737","url":"https:\/\/shop.tobiasoliverinteriors.com\/products\/cole-and-son-madras-violet","provider":"Tobias Oliver","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
