{"product_id":"george-and-minnie-checkmate","title":"George \u0026 Minnie | Checkmate","description":"\u003cp\u003eCheckmate is George \u0026amp; Minnie's gingham, a small woven cotton check with a 6.5 centimetre repeat that puts it in tablecloth and bed-hanging territory. The colour is woven in rather than printed on, so the squares have the slightly softened, three-tone look a true gingham has, where two colours cross to make a third. It is the cloth this collection leans on to calm everything else down, and it earns its place on its own as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cloth is 100 per cent cotton, 134 centimetres wide, with a 6.5 centimetre repeat in both directions, and the mill rates it for curtains, loose and fixed upholstery and bedspreads. There are 11 colourways in all, from Barley, Blush and Chalky Blue at the pale end to Raspberry, Ink and Emerald with more depth; Terracotta and Daffodil are the warm ones, and Sage is the colour we would put with almost any of the florals. The same check exists as a wallpaper in the Minnie Prints Wallpapers group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe use Checkmate for kitchen curtains and cafe blinds, for a set of dining chair seats, for bed valances and pillow borders under a bigger print, and for the inside of a four-poster, where a small check is easier to live with than a floral. It is the natural partner to the Volume One prints and to Rosie or Wild Meadow wallpaper. Sold by the half metre; order a sample to see it in your own light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA small gingham is forgiving on quantity but unforgiving on straightness, so ask the workroom to cut on the grain and keep the check square on every panel and seat. Match the check across seams; with a 6.5 centimetre repeat the extra allowance per drop is negligible. Have the cloth pre-shrunk or dry cleaned before making up anything that will be laundered, and line curtains with a plain cotton to stop the light showing through the pale squares.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 134 cm (53 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern repeat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5 cm vertical, 6.5 cm horizontal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Curtains, loose and fixed upholstery, bedspreads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Professional dry clean only; do not wash, bleach or iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Checks \u0026amp; Stripes, George \u0026amp; Minnie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColourways:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 (Barley, Walnut, Blush, Terracotta, Raspberry, Periwinkle, Ink, Chalky Blue, Emerald, Sage, Daffodil)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"George \u0026 Minnie","offers":[{"title":"Barley","offer_id":58056064434558,"sku":"GF10003.201","price":34.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Walnut","offer_id":58056064467326,"sku":"GF10003.251","price":34.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blush","offer_id":58056064500094,"sku":"GF10003.440","price":34.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Terracotta","offer_id":58056064532862,"sku":"GF10003.453","price":34.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Raspberry","offer_id":58056064565630,"sku":"GF10003.475","price":34.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Periwinkle","offer_id":58056064598398,"sku":"GF10003.624","price":34.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ink","offer_id":58056064631166,"sku":"GF10003.695","price":34.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chalky Blue","offer_id":58056064663934,"sku":"GF10003.725","price":34.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Emerald","offer_id":58056064696702,"sku":"GF10003.785","price":34.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sage","offer_id":58056064729470,"sku":"GF10003.790","price":34.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Daffodil","offer_id":58056064762238,"sku":"GF10003.815","price":34.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Barley","offer_id":58056064795006,"sku":"SAMPLE-GF10003.201","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Walnut","offer_id":58056064827774,"sku":"SAMPLE-GF10003.251","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Blush","offer_id":58056064860542,"sku":"SAMPLE-GF10003.440","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Terracotta","offer_id":58056064893310,"sku":"SAMPLE-GF10003.453","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Raspberry","offer_id":58056064926078,"sku":"SAMPLE-GF10003.475","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Periwinkle","offer_id":58056064958846,"sku":"SAMPLE-GF10003.624","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Ink","offer_id":58056064991614,"sku":"SAMPLE-GF10003.695","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Chalky Blue","offer_id":58056065024382,"sku":"SAMPLE-GF10003.725","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Emerald","offer_id":58056065057150,"sku":"SAMPLE-GF10003.785","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Sage","offer_id":58056065089918,"sku":"SAMPLE-GF10003.790","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Daffodil","offer_id":58056065122686,"sku":"SAMPLE-GF10003.815","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/9880\/0766\/files\/GF10003_201.png?v=1789773961","url":"https:\/\/shop.tobiasoliverinteriors.com\/products\/george-and-minnie-checkmate","provider":"Tobias Oliver","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
