Acorn Tonal Jacquard Polyester Pencil Pleat Curtains - Brick

These Acorn pencil pleat curtains carry a jacquard rendering of acorn branches, the leaves and cups woven into a matt cloth rather than printed onto it. The pattern was originally designed in 1879, drawn from the original wooden hand-printing blocks in the Morris & Co. archive, and here it reads as a soft tonal design: a warm brick ground with the acorn motif picked out in a paler cream that shifts as the fabric folds. The cloth is 100% polyester, and the curtains come as a pair with a 5" pencil pleat header already sewn in, ready to hook onto a standard tape track or a pole with rings.

Curtains at this scale suit a living room or a bedroom where you want the window dressed to the floor. The brick and cream palette works against warm neutral walls, natural wood furniture and cane or rattan pieces, and it holds its own beside a plain sofa or armchair without fighting for attention. The tonal weave means the pattern is present without being loud, so a whole wall of it reads as texture as much as motif. Pair it with a matching cushion or throw from the wider Acorn range if you want the pattern to echo around the room.

Being a jacquard, the design is built into the weave, so it will not crack or peel the way a surface print can. The fabric is fully lined, which gives the curtains weight, helps them hang in clean folds and adds a degree of privacy and light control. Care is straightforward: dry clean and cool iron only, which keeps the woven pattern and the lining sitting true. The 5" pencil pleat header gathers the fabric into even upright folds when the cords are drawn, and works with most tracks and poles.
