Description
A matched pair of custom-crafted Roman window treatments featuring a luxury woven silk jacquard face fabric. The design presents a historic revival motif-incorporating Persian- and Asian-inspired boteh (paisley), stylized florals, and geometric elements-woven in a warm palette of copper, russet, ochre, and deep teal-green.
Each shade includes a matching, fabric-covered rigid cornice/headrail with returns, designed for a clean, architectural presentation over large window openings.
Textile & Attribution Details
Attribution: Unmarked high-end decorator trade textile-attributed to Old World Weavers (Scalamandre) or Clarence House based on the fine silk jacquard construction, multi-yarn weave structure, and archival boteh revival design language.
Weave Construction: Fine-gauge, multi-yarn Jacquard weave (figured textile with structurally integrated colored yarns, not a surface print).
Fiber Composition: Physical testing of loose warp/weft yarns confirms 100% natural protein-fiber behavior (burning with a hair-like odor and leaving fine, crushable ash, indicating genuine silk).
Aesthetic Finish: Soft luster with a subtly mottled, antiqued ground designed to replicate the time-worn character of vintage trade shawls.
Workroom Construction & Hardware Quality
Fabrication & Structural Mounting: Hand-finished custom workroom fabrication. Face fabric is cleanly wrapped around rigid headrails with integrated returns, anchored by high-density industrial stapling.
Lining & Hems: Separately suspended ivory privacy/protective lining with serged/overlocked finished bottom hems to prevent fraying.
Hardware & Anchors: Solid metal screw-eye guide anchors secured directly into the headrail timber, supporting braided lift cords, hand-stitched individual lift rings, and turned metal cord pulls in a polished silver/steel finish.
