{"product_id":"mark-alexander-braid-mosaic-wallcovering","title":"Mark Alexander | Braid Mosaic Wallcovering","description":"\u003cp\u003eBraid Mosaic is what the name suggests: narrow braids of natural fibre laid side by side in short blocks, each block set at a right angle to the one beside it, so the direction of the braid keeps turning across the wall. The effect is a shallow chequer you read first as texture and only afterwards as a pattern. The relief is real but low, a millimetre or two, enough to hold a shadow line between the blocks without catching on anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRolls are 91 centimetres wide and 7.3 metres long, with no stated repeat to match. It comes in one colourway, Natural, the fibre left undyed so the colour is whatever the plant gave it, a range of straw, oatmeal and pale brown tones within the same panel. Because nothing has been dyed to a standard, variation between rolls is more noticeable here than it would be on a coloured ground, and it is part of what the material is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe use Braid Mosaic on a single wall rather than all four, where the block pattern has room to be seen, so behind a bed, in an entrance hall, or lining an alcove. It sits well against plain plaster, dark timber and linen upholstery, and it does most of the work in a room that is otherwise very plain. Keep the lighting soft and raking rather than flat. Order a sample to see it in your own light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaste the wall and hang the length dry, keeping paste well away from the face, as the braid will hold a mark and cannot be washed. Butt the seams carefully so the block grid continues across the join rather than stepping. Order every roll at once and confirm the batch numbers match, then add a spare: with an undyed fibre a later batch will read differently, and a repair is easier from stock you hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoll width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 91 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoll length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.3 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern repeat:\u003c\/strong\u003e None — free match\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paste-the-wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Collage IV, Mark Alexander\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColourways:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 (Natural)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mark Alexander","offers":[{"title":"Natural","offer_id":58067491946878,"sku":"MW174\/01","price":750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Natural","offer_id":58067491979646,"sku":"SAMPLE-MW174\/01","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/9880\/0766\/files\/MW174-01-braid-mosaic-wallcovering-natural_01.jpg?v=1789984735","url":"https:\/\/shop.tobiasoliverinteriors.com\/products\/mark-alexander-braid-mosaic-wallcovering","provider":"Tobias Oliver","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
