{"product_id":"cole-and-son-tree-of-life","title":"Cole \u0026 Son | Tree of Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eTree of Life is a collaboration in the literal sense: artists from Cole \u0026amp; Son and from Ardmore hand-painted the ornamented fauna within a single expansive tableau, and the two hands remain distinguishable in it. The subject is the baobab, and around it the design gathers the fruits, flowers, birds and animals of a South African year, so the panel reads as a season rather than a snapshot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is painted at full scale, which is why it works. The foliage is dense at the base and opens out overhead; the creatures are placed in the canopy at the height they would actually occupy; and the ornamentation on them is Ardmore's, patterned and ceramic in feel, closer to modelled decoration than to natural history. Nothing is stylised down into a motif, and nothing repeats in the way a conventional wallpaper repeats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHung as a straight match, it can run as a repeating scene across a long wall or be used as a single tableau on one. Both work, but the second is usually the stronger decision: a panel of this kind wants a wall it can own, with the furniture kept low and the lighting warm. In a dining room, a stair hall or a double-height space it does what a mural does, which is to fix the character of a whole room from one surface.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cole \u0026 Son","offers":[{"title":"Stone","offer_id":57800206221694,"sku":"129\/1002","price":360.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sky Blue","offer_id":57800206254462,"sku":"129\/1003","price":360.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Stone","offer_id":57800206287230,"sku":"SAMPLE-129\/1002","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Sky Blue","offer_id":57800206319998,"sku":"SAMPLE-129\/1003","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/9880\/0766\/files\/Baobab_Cole_Son_x_Ardmore_Tree_of_Life_129-1002.jpg?v=1785945715","url":"https:\/\/shop.tobiasoliverinteriors.com\/products\/cole-and-son-tree-of-life","provider":"Tobias Oliver","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
