{"product_id":"mark-alexander-borough","title":"Mark Alexander | Borough","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorough is a plain cloth with a good deal going on in the surface. The viscose is spun to an irregular yarn, so the weave picks up light along its slubs and the colour shifts a little as you walk past it. That is not lustre, more a quiet move between matt and slightly brighter. Linen and cotton in the blend keep the hand dry and give it body enough to hang in a deep fold. It is a plain you can run across a whole room without it going flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe composition is 55% viscose, 30% linen and 15% cotton, woven at a 140 centimetre width, with no pattern repeat. Martindale is 20,000 rubs, which is general domestic and suits cushions and seating that is not in daily hard use. Five colourways: Snow, the palest; Heritage, a mid warm neutral; Sepia, browner; Tarnish, a cool grey; and Obsidian at the dark end. They sit close enough together to use two or three in one scheme.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe tend to use Borough for full-length curtains, where the width and the weight let it fall in a proper column, and for loose covers on a chair or an ottoman that will be dressed with something else. It takes a contrast leading edge well. Put it against grasscloth on the wall, or against a coarser undyed linen, and let the difference in surface do the work. Order a sample to see it in your own light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 140 centimetres you will get one and a half widths into most curtain drops, so check fullness before ordering, as going to two widths adds a good deal of cloth. There is no repeat to match, which keeps quantities honest. We would line and interline it: the viscose benefits from weight behind it, and interlining stops the slubs reading as unevenness when light comes through. Let made-up curtains hang a few days before the hem is dressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 55% VI 30% LI 15% CO (viscose, linen, cotton)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 140 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern repeat:\u003c\/strong\u003e None — plain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMartindale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20,000 rubs — general domestic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Curtains, blinds, cushions, light upholstery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry clean recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Borough, Mark Alexander\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColourways:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 (Heritage, Obsidian, Sepia, Snow, Tarnish)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mark Alexander","offers":[{"title":"Heritage","offer_id":58067508134270,"sku":"M413\/08","price":69.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Obsidian","offer_id":58067508167038,"sku":"M413\/10","price":69.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sepia","offer_id":58067508199806,"sku":"M413\/03","price":69.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Snow","offer_id":58067508232574,"sku":"M413\/01","price":69.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tarnish","offer_id":58067508265342,"sku":"M413\/05","price":69.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Heritage","offer_id":58067508298110,"sku":"SAMPLE-M413\/08","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Obsidian","offer_id":58067508330878,"sku":"SAMPLE-M413\/10","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Sepia","offer_id":58067508363646,"sku":"SAMPLE-M413\/03","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Snow","offer_id":58067508396414,"sku":"SAMPLE-M413\/01","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Tarnish","offer_id":58067508429182,"sku":"SAMPLE-M413\/05","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/9880\/0766\/files\/M413-08-borough-heritage_02.jpg?v=1789984929","url":"https:\/\/shop.tobiasoliverinteriors.com\/products\/mark-alexander-borough","provider":"Tobias Oliver","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
