{"product_id":"cole-and-son-palace-tales","title":"Cole \u0026 Son | Palace Tales","description":"\u003cp\u003ePalace Tales is a toile that refuses to behave like one. Three buildings appear in it, the Tower of London, Hampton Court and Kensington Palace, and between them they carry close to a thousand years of English royal history, but the drawing is contemporary and pictorial rather than engraved, so the scenes have air around them and the composition breathes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe detail rewards a slow reading. Ravens sit above the Tower keep, guarding the kingdom as the legend requires. In the Thames below swims a polar bear, which sounds like invention and is not: Henry III kept one, along with lions, in the Royal Menagerie. Kensington appears at twilight under the arching branches of Hyde Park, and a fallow deer walks towards the Hampton Court gardens, where Henry VIII once hunted. None of it is labelled; the pattern assumes you will find it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade with Historic Royal Palaces, it has the authority of a design taken from real buildings rather than imagined ones. The 76.2 cm repeat and half-drop match spread the scenes so that no vignette lands twice in the same eye-line. A dining room, a study or a landing gives it the wall length it needs. Rolls are 0.52 m wide by 10 m long.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cole \u0026 Son","offers":[{"title":"Leaf Green, Terracotta \u0026 Petrol","offer_id":57800212447614,"sku":"118\/1001","price":228.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Leaf Green, Terracotta \u0026 Petrol","offer_id":57800212480382,"sku":"SAMPLE-118\/1001","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/9880\/0766\/files\/PalaceTales_Image_Flatshot_Item_118-1001-1a3a8b0a27.webp?v=1785945723","url":"https:\/\/shop.tobiasoliverinteriors.com\/products\/cole-and-son-palace-tales","provider":"Tobias Oliver","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
