Description
These pencil pleat curtains carry Marigold, an 1875 William Morris design of ruffling foliage and sunburst flowers, woven into a jacquard rather than printed on. Jacquard means the pattern is built from the weave itself, so the ruffling leaves and open blooms sit as a subtle raised motif on a stone ground rather than a flat surface print. They are made from 100% polyester and come as a pair, fully lined, with a 5 inch pencil pleat header ready to gather onto a standard curtain track or pole. The range runs from 117 x 137cm up to 228 x 228cm, so there is a drop and a width for most windows.
The stone colourway is a soft, warm off-white that reads as a gentle tone-on-tone pattern from across the room and reveals its detail up close. That makes it an easy choice for a living room or bedroom where you want texture and interest without a strong colour committing the whole scheme. It sits happily against natural wood, cream upholstery and neutral walls, and the matching Marigold cushion carries the same motif if you want to tie the room together. The lining gives the fabric weight and body, so the curtains hang in even folds.
The 5 inch pencil pleat header pulls up into neat, regular gathers using the cords, and the pleats space evenly along the tape whether you hang them from a track or a pole. Being fully lined, they block a good deal of light and add a layer of insulation at the glass through colder months. When choosing your size, measure your track or pole width and your preferred drop, and remember the figures are per pair. Care is straightforward: dry clean and cool iron only, which keeps the jacquard weave and the lining in good order.

Frequently Asked
Are these curtains sold as a pair?
Yes, each order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels ready to hang either side of your window.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure the width of your track or pole and your preferred drop, then pick the closest size. The dimensions given are per pair, and the range runs from 117 x 137cm up to 228 x 228cm.
Will they fit a pole or a track?
The 5 inch pencil pleat header gathers onto both a curtain pole and a standard track, so either fitting works well with these curtains.
What does jacquard mean for the fabric?
Jacquard means the pattern is woven into the cloth rather than printed on top, which gives the Marigold design a subtle raised texture that catches the light.
How should I clean them?
These curtains are dry clean only, and a cool iron is fine if you need to smooth the fabric before hanging them.
Are they lined?
Yes, they are fully lined, which adds weight for a good hang and helps block light and draughts at the window.
