We have three pairs of these curtains for sale, all from the same Yorkshire house. They’re all different sizes. This is the longest pair, but not the widest. Please see our other listings for the other two pairs.
Length 215cm (with some extra turned up in the hem if needed).
Combined width across the top of both curtains is 180cm.
If you needed a little more width you could easily loosen the pencil pleats out across the top.
Width across the bottom of each individual curtain is 190cm, if you double this for the pair there is a combined width of 380cm- showing that there’s lots of fabric gathered in the pleats.
The pattern is called “Haddon”, and was produced in the 1960s. It’s a classic English Garden design with large scale flowers merged with sweet birds. The base colour is a light cream.
The curtains have been professionally custom-made using Greeff cotton fabric by the historical British textile manufacturer, Warner & Sons. They are quilted and lined so are very insulating. They also have weights sewn in the hem.
They curtains came to us still in their dry cleaning bags with paper dry cleaning labels attached. The exterior of the curtains are in the great condition with no fading or marks. However, the dry cleaning chemicals/starch used on the lining has aged over time whilst the curtains have been in storage and caused some yellowing and spot marks in areas. In our experience, these marks always significantly fade once the cotton is bathed in sunlight.
“Warner & Sons, as a business as we know it, was formed in 1870 by Benjamin Warner who was descended from a line of scarlet dyers from Spitalfields. From relatively humble beginnings in the textile industry, Warner & Sons would go on to become one of the most respected furnishing silk manufacturers in the UK.
Warner & Sons designed and manufactured “fabric for several royal weddings, taking on the responsibility of the fabrics required for many royal coronations, along with supplying fabrics for palace re-decoration, Warners cemented their reputation for design excellence and superior quality throughout the late-nineteenth century. Expanding their range of geometric designs, and experiments with new materials, in the 1930s Warner & Sons broadened their appeal. Alongside traditional silks, Warner & Sons also included modern designs in the 1960s inspired by popular culture and current events, including the moon-landing in 1969. Known for employing the best and brightest designers and production specialists.”
