Description
These are pencil pleat curtains in a woven jacquard, a deep burgundy ground carrying a floral damask worked in gold and soft green. Jacquard means the pattern is woven into the cloth rather than printed onto it, so the design sits within the fabric and reads the same from either side of the weave. The face has a chenille-style handle, which gives the curtains real weight and a dense drape. They come as a pair and in three widths per drop, running from 66x72 inches (168x183cm) up to 90x90 inches (229x229cm), and each pair arrives with two matching tiebacks finished with stainless steel rings.
This is a curtain for a traditional room. The rich burgundy and gold pattern sits comfortably against panelled walls, darker woods and the sort of warm, layered scheme where a plain curtain would look underdressed. The header is a pencil pleat, which gathers the top of the curtain into neat vertical folds and adapts to a spread of window widths, so it suits both a modest window and a wider one. Because the fabric is thick, it also does a genuine job of darkening a room, which makes it a sensible choice for a bedroom as well as a living room or dining room.
The cloth is 100% polyester, which makes it hard-wearing and resistant to staining, but this particular jacquard is dry clean only, so treat it as a considered fabric rather than something for the machine. Pencil pleat curtains need a track or pole with hooks for hanging, which are not included, so check what you already have before ordering. Styled with the matching tiebacks drawn back during the day, the pattern catches the light across the folds and shows its gold detailing at its best.

Frequently Asked
Do these curtains come as a pair?
Yes, each order is a pair of curtains, and every pair includes two matching tiebacks finished with stainless steel rings.
How do I clean these curtains?
They are dry clean only. The polyester is hard-wearing and resists staining, but the jacquard fabric should not be machine washed.
What does the pencil pleat header need to hang?
Pencil pleat curtains require a curtain track or pole with hooks for installation, and these are not supplied, so check what you have first.
Will these curtains help darken a room?
Yes, the fabric is thick and has room darkening properties, which makes it a good choice for a bedroom where you want to reduce daylight.
Which sizes are available?
There are three widths per drop, from 66x72 inches (168x183cm) up to 90x90 inches (229x229cm), so measure your window before choosing.
Is the pattern woven or printed?
The floral damask is woven into the cloth as a jacquard, so the design sits within the fabric rather than being printed on the surface.
