{"product_id":"gp-and-j-baker-darwen","title":"GP \u0026 J Baker | Darwen","description":"\u003cp\u003eDarwen is a close, plain-woven texture from the Baker House Textures range, its surface made up of fine, slightly uneven threads that give it a soft, papery depth rather than the flatness of a true plain. With no pattern repeat, it behaves as a background cloth: the kind you put a print or an embroidery against rather than the print itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe composition is 42 per cent viscose, 34 per cent cotton, 20 per cent linen and 4 per cent polyester, which gives it a little more sheen and drape than a straight linen weave. It is 142 centimetres wide, rated at 30,000 rubs on the Martindale test, so it is rated for upholstery as well as curtains, and GP \u0026amp; J Baker specify it for curtains, loose and fixed upholstery and bedspreads. Three colourways: Linen, Parchment and Tomato. Linen and Parchment are close, workable neutrals; Tomato is the one warm, saturated option in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe use it for upholstery on a pair of armchairs or a window seat, where its texture reads as calm rather than patterned, and for curtains in a room that already carries pattern on the walls or the sofa. Tomato is a good choice for a single upholstered piece that needs to carry colour on its own. Pair a neutral colourway with one of the Ashmore florals, or Tomato with a plain green. Sold by the half metre; order a sample to see it in your own light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is no repeat to match, so cutting is straightforward and wastes little cloth. Line and interline curtains for body and a good hang. On upholstery, railroad where the piece allows it to avoid a seam across a wide back, and keep offcuts for arm caps or piping in a matching or contrasting colourway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 42% viscose, 34% cotton, 20% linen, 4% polyester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 142 cm (56 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasion resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30,000 rubs (Martindale)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry clean only; do not wash, bleach or iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Baker House Textures, GP \u0026amp; J Baker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColourways:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 (Linen, Parchment, Tomato)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GP \u0026 J Baker","offers":[{"title":"Linen","offer_id":58057820766590,"sku":"BF10957.110","price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Parchment","offer_id":58057820799358,"sku":"BF10957.225","price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tomato","offer_id":58057820832126,"sku":"BF10957.450","price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Linen","offer_id":58057820864894,"sku":"SAMPLE-BF10957.110","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Parchment","offer_id":58057820897662,"sku":"SAMPLE-BF10957.225","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Tomato","offer_id":58057820930430,"sku":"SAMPLE-BF10957.450","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/9880\/0766\/files\/BF10957_110.png?v=1789777543","url":"https:\/\/shop.tobiasoliverinteriors.com\/products\/gp-and-j-baker-darwen","provider":"Tobias Oliver","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
