Elegant Handcrafted Red Applique Curtain (Set of 2)

What pattern is worked on these curtains?

Scrolling florals and small stars in a darker red cover the crimson panel from top to bottom. The repeat is dense and medium in scale, so the curtain looks fully worked, with the design visible in every part of the fabric rather than only along a border.

How strong is the contrast in the applique?

It is a quiet contrast: dark red shapes on crimson. The pattern shows through depth and texture rather than a sharp colour change, which lets the red stay rich and unified while still giving you plenty of detail to look at up close.

What is applique, exactly?

Applique is a decorative technique in which fabric pieces are sewn onto a base fabric to create designs. The pieces may be layered, sometimes with raw edges, and stitched in place. It adds texture and dimension, which you can see in the raised scrolls on this pair.

Will they cover my window?

Each curtain measures 44 x 84 inches, about 3.5 x 7 feet, and you get two. Compare that with your window or door, both the width you want to cover and the drop from the rod to the floor or sill, before ordering.

How should I clean them?

Hand wash them gently in a mild detergent, keep them apart from the rest of your laundry, and dry them in the shade rather than in direct sun. A simple, gentle routine like this is the best way to look after the cotton and the applique.
