{"product_id":"mark-alexander-tosca","title":"Mark Alexander | Tosca","description":"\u003cp\u003eTosca is a plain woven cloth in a linen and wool blend, and it is one of the more useful things Mark Alexander make. The linen gives it a dry, matt surface and a little slub; the wool gives it body and a slight give, so it pulls around a frame without fighting. There is no pattern at all. The interest is in the yarn, which is dyed before weaving and so carries a depth of colour that a piece-dyed plain never quite has. It sits somewhere between a linen union and a fine wool flannel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe composition is 63% linen, 29% wool, 5% polyamide and 3% cotton, woven 140 centimetres wide. Martindale is rated at 100,000 rubs, severe contract, which puts it well beyond anything a domestic scheme will ask of it. Twelve colourways are offered. Silverbirch, Beech, Moss, Atlantic and Chestnut give a fair sense of the range, which runs from pale neutrals through greens and blues to Carnelian and Anthracite at either end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe use Tosca first for upholstery, on a deep sofa, a pair of club chairs or a headboard, because it wears well and its texture reads at close range. It also makes good curtains with a decent weight to them and takes a pleated heading cleanly. We would pair it with a grasscloth wall, a wool rug and a trimming in a related tone rather than a contrast. Order a sample to see it in your own light, as the linen content shifts noticeably between daylight and lamplight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor making up, there is no pattern to match, which keeps quantities straightforward. At 140 centimetres it will not railroad on a standard sofa back, so plan for vertical cuts and a seam where one is needed. As a curtain it wants interlining to hang properly and to stop the wool creasing along the folds. Tell your upholsterer it is a blend with real linen in it and to expect a little relaxation after fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 63% LI 29% WO 5% PA 3% CO (linen, wool, polyamide, 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 weave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMartindale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100,000 rubs - severe contract\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upholstery, curtains, headboards, cushions\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 Tosca, Mark Alexander\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColourways:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 (including Silverbirch, Beech, Moss, Atlantic, Chestnut)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mark Alexander","offers":[{"title":"Anthracite","offer_id":58067444990334,"sku":"M476\/09","price":93.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Moss","offer_id":58067445023102,"sku":"M476\/16","price":93.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Denim","offer_id":58067445055870,"sku":"M476\/18","price":93.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Moccasin","offer_id":58067445088638,"sku":"M476\/21","price":93.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Carnelian","offer_id":58067445121406,"sku":"M476\/22","price":93.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chestnut","offer_id":58067445154174,"sku":"M476\/24","price":93.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Glacier","offer_id":58067445186942,"sku":"M476\/14","price":93.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Atlantic","offer_id":58067445219710,"sku":"M476\/17","price":93.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silverbirch","offer_id":58067445252478,"sku":"M476\/01","price":93.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Beech","offer_id":58067445285246,"sku":"M476\/02","price":93.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Storm","offer_id":58067445318014,"sku":"M476\/04","price":93.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gunmetal","offer_id":58067445350782,"sku":"M476\/07","price":93.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Anthracite","offer_id":58067445383550,"sku":"SAMPLE-M476\/09","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Moss","offer_id":58067445416318,"sku":"SAMPLE-M476\/16","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Denim","offer_id":58067445449086,"sku":"SAMPLE-M476\/18","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Moccasin","offer_id":58067445481854,"sku":"SAMPLE-M476\/21","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Carnelian","offer_id":58067445514622,"sku":"SAMPLE-M476\/22","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Chestnut","offer_id":58067445547390,"sku":"SAMPLE-M476\/24","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Glacier","offer_id":58067445580158,"sku":"SAMPLE-M476\/14","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Atlantic","offer_id":58067445612926,"sku":"SAMPLE-M476\/17","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Silverbirch","offer_id":58067445645694,"sku":"SAMPLE-M476\/01","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Beech","offer_id":58067445678462,"sku":"SAMPLE-M476\/02","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Storm","offer_id":58067445711230,"sku":"SAMPLE-M476\/04","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Gunmetal","offer_id":58067445743998,"sku":"SAMPLE-M476\/07","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/9880\/0766\/files\/M476-09-tosca-anthracite_02.jpg?v=1789984415","url":"https:\/\/shop.tobiasoliverinteriors.com\/products\/mark-alexander-tosca","provider":"Tobias Oliver","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
