{"product_id":"cole-and-son-stone-block","title":"Cole \u0026 Son | Stone Block","description":"\u003cp\u003eStone Block is a trompe l'oeil, and a convincing one. The paper reproduces coursed ashlar, with regular blocks, fine mortar joints and the faint variation of face and weathering across each stone, at a scale that reads correctly on a domestic wall. It is one of the older prints in the historic catalogue and has stayed in production because the drawing is accurate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes it work is restraint in the tonal range. The blocks differ from one another only slightly, so the wall reads as masonry rather than as a pattern of rectangles, and the joints are drawn thin enough to disappear at a few paces. Under directional light the illusion strengthens; under flat light it settles into a quiet textured plain. The block size is judged carefully as well, large enough to read as building stone rather than brick, small enough not to dwarf a domestic room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 64 cm straight repeat aligns the courses across the wall, which is essential to the illusion, so a wall that is out of true is worth checking before hanging. It is at its best where masonry would plausibly be: a garden room, a basement kitchen, a cloakroom, a hall. Against real stone flooring and plain joinery it stops being a joke and becomes architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cole \u0026 Son","offers":[{"title":"Chalk","offer_id":57800207040894,"sku":"92\/6029","price":111.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey","offer_id":57800207073662,"sku":"92\/6030","price":111.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oat","offer_id":57800207106430,"sku":"92\/6031","price":111.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Charcoal","offer_id":57800207139198,"sku":"92\/6032","price":111.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Shell","offer_id":57800207171966,"sku":"92\/6054","price":111.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Chalk","offer_id":57800207204734,"sku":"SAMPLE-92\/6029","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Grey","offer_id":57800207237502,"sku":"SAMPLE-92\/6030","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Oat","offer_id":57800207270270,"sku":"SAMPLE-92\/6031","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Charcoal","offer_id":57800207303038,"sku":"SAMPLE-92\/6032","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Shell","offer_id":57800207335806,"sku":"SAMPLE-92\/6054","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/9880\/0766\/files\/StoneBlock_Image_Flatshot_Item_92-6029.jpg?v=1785945716","url":"https:\/\/shop.tobiasoliverinteriors.com\/products\/cole-and-son-stone-block","provider":"Tobias Oliver","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
