Cervino Jacquard Polyester Pencil Pleat Curtains - Duck Egg

The Cervino is a jacquard-woven curtain, sold as a pair, in a cream ground scattered with a trailing leaf design picked out in soft duck-egg blue, sage and warm tan. The pattern is woven into the cloth rather than printed on top, which is what jacquard means: the leaves and stems are formed by the weave itself, so they carry a slight raised texture you can feel as well as see. Both the face and the lining are polyester, and the curtains come fully lined. They are made in a range of widths and drops, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so there is a size to suit most standard windows and taller openings alike.

These curtains head on a pencil pleat tape, the gathered heading you can see across the top, which suits a curtain pole or a track equally well and lets you set the fullness of the gather to taste. The leaf pattern and its calm, natural palette sit happily in a living room, a bedroom or a study, and work well against painted panelling, pale walls or a natural jute rug. Because the design reads as gentle and textured rather than bold, it pairs comfortably with plain upholstery and wooden furniture without competing for attention.

Being fully lined, the curtains give you better privacy after dark and add a layer that helps hold warmth against the glass through colder months. Polyester holds its shape and colour well and is an easy cloth to live with, resisting creasing and wearing hard over years of daily drawing back and forth. The woven leaf motif runs the full drop, so the pattern stays consistent whether the curtains are open and stacked at the sides or drawn across the window. Hang them from a wooden pole to echo the warm tones in the design.

Is this one curtain or a pair?

This is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels in the width and drop you select, ready to dress a single window.

What does jacquard mean here?

Jacquard means the leaf pattern is woven into the fabric rather than printed on the surface, which gives the design a subtle raised texture and a look that reads the same from either side of the cloth.

Will a pencil pleat heading fit my pole or track?

Pencil pleat tape works with both a curtain pole and a track, and you can adjust the cords to set how full the gathered heading looks before hanging.

Are these curtains lined?

Yes, they come fully lined with a polyester lining, which adds body to the drape, improves privacy after dark and helps hold warmth against the window.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure your pole or track width and the drop you want from the heading to the floor or sill, then pick the size that comes closest, remembering the figures are for the pair.

What colour are these curtains?

The ground is a cream shade with a leaf design in soft duck-egg blue, sage green and warm tan tones running through it.
