Vibrant Handcrafted Yellow Applique Curtain (Set Of 2)

What comes in this set?

You get two applique curtains, each sized 44 x 84 inches, about 3.5 by 7 feet. A pair lets you dress both sides of a window or cover a wider doorway, with matching panels framing the space.

What is the design on the panels?

Each panel shows a standing figure among leaves, cut in tone-on-tone shapes in the style of cutwork, with olive-yellow outlines picking out the details. Geometric bands run along the hem. The lime-yellow tone keeps the whole design bright and sunny.

How does the pair look on a window?

Hung on either side of a window, the two figures frame the view like a matching pair, with the hem bands running along the bottom. Since they are handmade, small differences between the two panels are natural, which keeps the look personal rather than mechanical.

Which rooms does this sunny yellow suit?

Yellow is warm and cheerful, so it brightens kitchens, dining areas, children's rooms and any room that needs a lift. It pairs well with white, grey, indigo and natural wood. If your room is already busy with colour, let these curtains be the main accent.

Who makes them?

A women's self-help group in Barmer, led by master artisan Khetaram. Every figure, leaf and band is cut from fabric and stitched onto cotton by hand, so each curtain in the set carries the touch of hand work.

How should the curtains be cared for?

Wash each one gently by hand with a mild detergent, keep them apart from other washing, and dry them in the shade. That is the whole care routine for this pair.
