Ophelia Jacquard Polyester Pencil Pleat Curtains - Wedgewood

The Ophelia curtains carry a botanical jacquard design woven straight into the cloth, a garden of stylised trees, seed heads and small flowers set against a pale ground. Because the pattern is jacquard rather than printed, the motif is built from the weave itself, which gives the surface a subtle texture and a slight sheen you can see in the folds. The cloth is 100% polyester, and the pair comes with a pencil pleat header already sewn in. Each order is a PAIR of curtains, so you are buying two panels to dress a single window or door.

These suit a living room, a dining room or a bedroom, and they read particularly well across French doors or a tall window where the full drop of the pattern can be seen. In the photographs the blue-and-beige colourway sits happily with warm oak, jute and pale walls, so if your room leans towards natural wood and neutral paint they will settle in without a fight. The pencil pleat header gathers onto a standard curtain track or a pole with rings, giving you the soft, even folds shown in the images.

The pencil pleat tape lets you draw the heading up to the width you need and choose which row of hooks to use, so the same pair works on a track or a pole. Polyester is the practical choice here: it holds colour well, resists creasing and does not shrink, so the curtains keep their shape wash after wash. The panels are offered across a range of widths and drops, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so measure your track width and your desired drop before choosing. If you would like the look to carry through the room, there is a matching Ophelia cushion in the same range.

Is this one curtain or a pair?

Each order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two matching panels to dress a single window or set of doors.

What header do these curtains have?

They have a pencil pleat header, which gathers the fabric into soft even folds and hangs from a curtain track or a pole with rings.

Are the curtains lined?

Yes, the panels are lined, which adds weight for a fuller hang and gives the botanical jacquard pattern a firmer surface to sit against.

What does jacquard mean for the pattern?

Jacquard means the design is woven into the cloth rather than printed on top, so the motif has real texture and shows on both faces of the weave.

What sizes are available?

The panels come in a range of widths and drops, from 117 by 137cm up to 229 by 229cm, so measure your track and drop before ordering.

Do the curtains come with tie backs?

Yes, matching tie backs are included, so you can hold the panels open at the sides without buying anything extra.
