Shiraz Jacquard Chenille Pencil Pleat Curtains - Navy

These Shiraz curtains are a pencil pleat pair woven with a damask jacquard pattern, the design carried in gold across a deep navy ground. The pattern is a floral damask worked into a chenille-style cloth, so the motif sits raised against the base rather than printed flat. The pair is made from 100% polyester, a hard-wearing fibre that holds its colour and resists everyday marks, and the weight of the cloth gives the curtains a room-darkening quality when drawn. Each pair comes with two matching tiebacks finished with stainless steel rings.

Pencil pleat is the most adaptable of the header styles, gathering onto a track or a pole with standard curtain hooks, so this pair suits a wide spread of window widths and both track and pole fittings. The navy and gold reads as a traditional, formal choice, and it sits naturally in a period sitting room, a dining room or a bedroom where you want depth on the window. The matching tiebacks let you sweep the curtains back cleanly during the day and draw them full at night. You will need tracks and hooks to hang them, as these are not supplied.

The pair is offered in three drops so you can match the fall to your window: from 66 by 72cm up to 90 by 90cm, each measurement given per pair. Because the cloth is a woven jacquard in polyester, these curtains are dry clean only, which protects both the raised pattern and the depth of the navy. Handled that way they keep their body and their sheen. The gold-on-navy damask pairs with warm timber, brass fittings and a cream or stone-coloured chair, and gives a considered anchor to a traditionally dressed room.

How do I hang pencil pleat curtains?

The pencil pleat header gathers onto a curtain track or a pole using standard curtain hooks, so it fits most fittings. You will need to supply your own tracks and hooks, as these are not included.

Are these curtains sold as a pair?

Yes, each order is a pair of curtains, and every drop includes two matching tiebacks finished with stainless steel rings so you can hold the curtains back during the day.

How should I clean these curtains?

They are dry clean only. The woven jacquard pattern and the depth of the navy polyester are best protected by professional cleaning rather than a home wash.

Will these curtains block out light?

The cloth is thick and woven densely, which gives the pair a room-darkening quality when the curtains are drawn fully across the window.

What sizes are available?

There are three drops, given per pair: 66 by 72cm, 66 by 90cm and 90 by 90cm, so you can match the fall to the depth of your window.

What is a jacquard weave?

Jacquard is a woven cloth where the pattern is built into the weave itself rather than printed on top, giving the damask motif a raised, textured surface.
