Description
These are velvet eyelet curtains in a warm antique gold, sold as a pair and fully lined. The velvet is the point of them: the photographs show a deep, light-catching pile that reads slightly lighter along the leading edge of each fold and darker in the recesses, so the fabric shifts as you move past it and as the daylight changes. The face and lining are both polyester, which is what gives velvet like this its glossy surface and its weight in the hand. That weight matters for a curtain, because it is what lets the fabric hang in the full, even folds you can see gathered under the eyelets.
They suit a living room or a bedroom where you want the window to feel dressed rather than merely covered. The antique gold sits comfortably against warm neutrals and works especially well with deep greens, as the styled shots show alongside an olive sofa. The eyelet header threads straight onto a pole, so hanging them is a matter of feeding the pole through the rings, with no hooks, tape or gliders to fuss over. The lining is a room-darkening one, which cuts the light coming through and adds a layer of privacy after dark, making them a sensible choice for a bedroom or a room that gets strong afternoon sun.
The curtains come in a range of drops and widths, from a compact 117cm width up to a generous 229cm, in several drops, so you can match the pair to your window and pole. The width figure is the width of each curtain in the pair, so measure your pole and allow for the gather. Being polyester throughout, they are practical to live with, and the eyelet construction makes them quick to take down when they need freshening. Matching cushions are available in the same fabric if you want to carry the antique gold across the room.

Frequently Asked
How do these curtains hang on a pole?
They have an eyelet header, so you simply thread your curtain pole through the metal rings along the top. There are no hooks or tape to attach, which makes hanging and taking them down quick.
Do they block out light?
They have a room-darkening lining that reduces the light coming through and adds privacy after dark. It cuts daylight rather than fully blacking out the room, so it suits bedrooms and sunny living rooms.
What does the width measurement mean?
The width figure is the width of each curtain in the pair. Measure your pole and allow extra fabric for a full gather when the curtains are drawn closed.
What is the fabric like to the touch?
The face and lining are both polyester, woven as a velvet with a soft, dense pile and a glossy surface that catches the light and shifts tone as it folds.
Can I match these with cushions?
Yes, matching cushions are available in the same velvet fabric, so you can carry the antique gold colour across a sofa or bed to tie the room together.
