Acorn Multi Chenille Pencil Pleat Curtains - Thyme/Forest

These are a pair of pencil pleat curtains carrying the Acorn design, a Morris & Co. pattern first drawn in 1879 from the original hand-printing blocks. Here that pattern is rendered as a jacquard weave with a chenille quality, so the acorns, oak leaves and branching stems are built into the cloth itself rather than printed on the surface. The fabric is 100% polyester, and the colourway is Thyme and Forest, a deep green ground worked through with softer sage foliage and small warm rust accents where the acorns and flowers sit. They come in eight made-up sizes, from 117 x 137cm up to 228 x 228cm, so you can match the drop and the width to your window.

Pencil pleat is the most adaptable heading you can buy. The gathered tape at the top pulls up to sit on a standard track or a pole, which makes these a sensible choice for a living room, a bedroom or a study where you want a traditional, quietly patterned window without committing to a fixed pleat style. The dark green reads well against pale or sage walls, and the busy foliage means they carry a room on their own. Acorn also appears as a matching cushion, so the two can be used together on a chair or sofa nearby.

The jacquard construction gives the curtains real body and weight, which helps them hang in full folds rather than hanging flat. Being polyester, the cloth is stable, holds its colour and resists creasing, so the pattern stays crisp through everyday use. Woven into the deep ground, the oak leaves and acorns keep their definition even when the fabric is drawn back into a stack at the side of the window. If you are furnishing a period-style room or simply want a heritage floral with genuine texture, this is a design that has earned its place over more than a century.

Is the Acorn pattern printed or woven into the fabric?

It is woven in as a jacquard with a chenille quality, so the acorns, leaves and stems are formed in the cloth itself and give the curtains texture as well as pattern.

What sizes do these curtains come in?

There are eight made-up options, running from 117 x 137cm up to 228 x 228cm. Each size is sold as a pair, and the measurements are the total width and drop for the pair.

What heading do these curtains have and what will they fit?

They have a pencil pleat heading, which is the gathered tape style that suits a standard curtain track or a pole, making them straightforward to hang in most rooms.

What is the fabric made of?

The cloth is 100% polyester. Polyester is a stable fibre that holds its colour and resists creasing, so the woven pattern stays crisp with regular use.

Is there anything that matches these curtains?

Yes, the Acorn design also appears as a cushion in the same Thyme and Forest colourway, so you can carry the pattern across the window and seating in one room.
