{"product_id":"gp-and-j-baker-oriental-bird-velvet","title":"GP \u0026 J Baker | Oriental Bird Velvet","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriental Bird is one of GP \u0026amp; J Baker's best-known documentary archive designs, exotic birds drawn among flowering branches in the chinoiserie manner the House has worked with since its earliest print books; this velvet version gives the archive motif real depth and sheen rather than the flat colour of a print. At 82 by 45.6 centimetres the repeat is generous enough for the birds and branches to read clearly across a cushion or a chair back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ground is 60 per cent viscose, 30 per cent cotton and 10 per cent polyester, which lets the pile carry the design's colour with a soft sheen. It is 137 centimetres wide, with an 82 centimetre vertical and 45.6 centimetre horizontal repeat, and GP \u0026amp; J Baker tested it to 6,000 Wyzenbeek rubs, a modest figure that suits cushions and light-use pieces rather than a daily-use sofa. Two colourways, Mole and Teal; Mole is the softer neutral, Teal the more decisive choice for a room that wants colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe would use it for a pair of cushions on a plain linen sofa, or a single occasional chair where the archive motif and the velvet pile can both be appreciated at close range. Pair it with a plain silk or fine linen weave in Mole or Teal, and keep the rest of the room simple so the bird motif carries the scheme. Sold by the half metre; order a sample to see it in your own light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCentre a full bird on the main panel of any cushion or chair before cutting, and keep pile direction consistent across all pieces. At 6,000 rubs this is a decorative rather than a hard-wearing cloth, so keep it to occasional seating and cushions rather than a family sofa in daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60% viscose, 30% cotton, 10% polyester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 137 cm (54 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern repeat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 82 cm vertical, 45.6 cm horizontal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasion resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6,000 rubs (Wyzenbeek)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upholstery, Curtains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry clean professionally; do not wash, bleach or iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Signature Velvets, GP \u0026amp; J Baker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColourways:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 (Mole, Teal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GP \u0026 J Baker","offers":[{"title":"Mole","offer_id":58057814540670,"sku":"BP10818.1","price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Teal","offer_id":58057814573438,"sku":"BP10818.2","price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Mole","offer_id":58057814606206,"sku":"SAMPLE-BP10818.1","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Teal","offer_id":58057814638974,"sku":"SAMPLE-BP10818.2","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/9880\/0766\/files\/bp10818_1.png?v=1789777015","url":"https:\/\/shop.tobiasoliverinteriors.com\/products\/gp-and-j-baker-oriental-bird-velvet","provider":"Tobias Oliver","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
