{"product_id":"strawberry-thief-velvet-pencil-pleat-curtains-biscuit","title":"Strawberry Thief Velvet Pencil Pleat Curtains - Biscuit","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are pencil pleat curtains in a soft biscuit velvet, sold as a pair, with an embroidered leading edge carrying the Strawberry Thief design. That pattern is one of the archive's most recognisable, first drawn in 1883 and inspired by the thrushes William Morris found stealing fruit in his kitchen garden. Here it is worked in embroidery rather than print, so the birds, flowers and foliage sit slightly raised against the velvet ground. The embroidered band runs down the inner edge of each curtain, which means the detail frames the window when the pair is closed rather than being lost in the folds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey suit a sitting room or bedroom where you want the window to carry some of the weight of the scheme. The biscuit ground is a warm, greyed neutral that settles against panelling, painted walls and natural wood, and the amber and slate tones in the embroidery give you colours to pick up elsewhere in cushions or a throw. A 5 inch pencil pleat header gathers the fabric into even, upright folds and works on a track or a pole, so you have some freedom in how you hang them. Because they come as a pair, buy the width that suits your window with a little gather to spare rather than measuring to the exact opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fabric is a matt velvet in 100% polyester, fully lined, which gives the curtains body and helps them hang in clean columns to the floor. Polyester velvet holds its pile well and resists creasing, and being fully lined adds a little weight and protects the face fabric from the light. Care is dry clean and cool iron only, so keep them for a professional clean rather than the machine. The Strawberry Thief embroidery also appears on matching cushions and throws, if you want to carry the design further into the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% polyester velvet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDesign\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStrawberry Thief embroidered leading edge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFully lined, 5 inch pencil pleat header\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e117 x 137cm to 228 x 228cm (per pair)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSold as\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePair of curtains\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWashing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDry clean only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIroning\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCool iron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere does the embroidered pattern sit on the curtains?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Strawberry Thief embroidery runs down the leading edge of each curtain, so it frames the window along the inner edges when the pair is drawn closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean these velvet curtains?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe care instruction is dry clean and cool iron only, so take them to a professional cleaner rather than putting them through a washing machine at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these curtains sold singly or as a pair?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are sold as a pair, so one purchase gives you two curtains to dress both sides of the window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat header do they have and how do they hang?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey have a 5 inch pencil pleat header, which gathers the fabric into even upright folds and works on either a curtain track or a pole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sizes are available?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey run from 117 by 137cm up to 228 by 228cm per pair, so measure your window width and drop before choosing the size that suits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the fabric like?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe face fabric is a matt velvet in 100% polyester and the curtains are fully lined, which gives them body and helps them hang in clean folds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Morris \u0026 Co.","offers":[{"title":"117x137","offer_id":53312724664587,"sku":"STRWEMB\/C03\/BIS","price":139.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"117x182","offer_id":53312724697355,"sku":"STRWEMB\/C04\/BIS","price":169.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"167x137","offer_id":53312724730123,"sku":"STRWEMB\/C08\/BIS","price":169.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"167x182","offer_id":53312724762891,"sku":"STRWEMB\/C09\/BIS","price":214.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"167x228","offer_id":53312724795659,"sku":"STRWEMB\/C11\/BIS","price":249.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"228x137","offer_id":53312724828427,"sku":"STRWEMB\/C13\/BIS","price":199.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"228x182","offer_id":53312724861195,"sku":"STRWEMB\/C14\/BIS","price":239.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"228x228","offer_id":53312724893963,"sku":"STRWEMB\/C16\/BIS","price":299.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/riva-strwemb_c03_bis-0-srcbase.jpg?v=1787197533","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/strawberry-thief-velvet-pencil-pleat-curtains-biscuit","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
