{"product_id":"gp-and-j-baker-folk-art","title":"GP \u0026 J Baker | Folk Art","description":"\u003cp\u003eFolk Art is a stylised floral embroidery drawn from the naive flower forms of European folk textiles: flat-petalled blooms and simple leaves arranged in an open, hand-drawn repeat. The embroidery thread is polyester, worked in two colours, and the stitching has a slightly chalky, matte quality rather than a sheen. With a 78 centimetre vertical repeat it is a large-scale design that suits a big window or a bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe composition is 83 per cent linen and 17 per cent polyester, the polyester being the thread. It is 134 centimetres wide with a 78 centimetre vertical and 67 centimetre horizontal repeat, and it is specified for curtains and bedspreads. One colourway, Rose\/Teal, a warm pink and a deep blue-green together on natural, which is unexpectedly easy to live with because both colours are muted rather than bright.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe use it in bedrooms mostly, as curtains or a bedspread, where the folk-art character gives an otherwise plain room some warmth. It works well in a country house or a farmhouse conversion, and a single panel makes a good screen or headboard. Pair with plain linens in either colour and something small-scale and stitched on a chair. In a town house it is less obvious than you would expect; the muted colours do most of the work. Sold by the half metre; order a sample to see it in your own light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllow a full 78 centimetre repeat per drop and plan the pattern so a complete flower head sits near the top of the curtain. Line and interline; the polyester thread is robust but the linen ground will fade if left unprotected in a south-facing window. It is not rated for upholstery. A bedspread wants a light interlining so the stitching does not dimple.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 83% linen, 17% polyester\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 78 cm vertical, 67 cm horizontal\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 Winslow, GP \u0026amp; J Baker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColourways:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 (Rose\/Teal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GP \u0026 J Baker","offers":[{"title":"Rose\/Teal","offer_id":58050916254078,"sku":"BF11164.1","price":79.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Rose\/Teal","offer_id":58050916286846,"sku":"SAMPLE-BF11164.1","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/9880\/0766\/files\/BF11164_1.png?v=1789681890","url":"https:\/\/shop.tobiasoliverinteriors.com\/products\/gp-and-j-baker-folk-art","provider":"Tobias Oliver","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
