Acorn Tonal Jacquard Linen Pencil Pleat Curtains - Linen

These pencil pleat curtains carry the Acorn design, a pattern of acorn branches first drawn in 1879 from the original William Morris hand-printing blocks. Here it is woven rather than printed, worked as a matt jacquard so the acorns and oak leaves come through as a change in the weave itself, catching the light softly instead of sitting flat on the surface. The ground reads as a warm beige linen shade with the pattern picked out in a paler tone, a quiet, all-over botanical rather than a loud feature print. They are sold as a pair and offered across eight sizes, from 117 × 137cm up to 228 × 228cm, so you can match both the width of your window and the drop you want.

These suit a sitting room, dining room or bedroom where you want pattern without colour taking over, and the tonal palette settles easily against painted walls, natural wood and cane. Because the design is even and repeating, the curtains work as well drawn back in a soft column as they do pulled across a window, and they sit comfortably alongside plainer upholstery and neutral rugs. The 5 inch pencil pleat header gathers the fabric into regular folds and threads onto a standard curtain track or pole, giving you the traditional pleated top most UK windows are set up for.

The curtains are made from 100% polyester and come fully lined, which adds weight so they hang in a clean drape and helps them screen the window. Polyester holds its shape and colour well and resists creasing, and these should be dry cleaned only, with a cool iron if needed. The Acorn design also appears across the wider Acorn range in cushions and throws, so the same pattern can be carried through the room if you want to build on it.

Do these curtains come as a pair?

Yes, each order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels to dress a single window rather than one.

What header do they have and will they fit my track?

They have a 5 inch pencil pleat header, which gathers into regular folds and threads onto a standard curtain track or pole.

How do I choose the right size?

Sizes run from 117 by 137cm up to 228 by 228cm and are given as width by drop per pair, so measure your window width and the drop you want before ordering.

How should I clean them?

They should be dry cleaned only, and a cool iron can be used if needed to settle any creasing after hanging.

Are they lined?

Yes, they are fully lined, which adds weight for a cleaner drape and helps the curtains screen the window when drawn.

Is the pattern printed or woven?

The Acorn design is woven into the fabric as a matt jacquard, so the pattern shows as a change in the weave rather than a print on the surface.
