Old World Elegance: Custom Drapery Medallions Meet Timeless Design

When it comes to window treatments, every detail matters. This latest creation is a perfect example of how architectural elements and handcrafted design can transform a simple sliding glass door into a statement of timeless elegance.

The focal point of this design is the ornate drapery medallions, measuring 6-3/4" high by 4" wide (Item #044M on our website) Handcrafted from solid iron, each medallion features intricate floral and scrollwork detailing with a rounded base that creates balance and refinement. Their placement is deliberate—used both across the cornice board and as holdbacks for the stationary panels—showcasing their beauty while providing functionality.

The cornice board itself is upholstered in a light taupe fabric that echoes the luxurious drapery panels, while darker taupe trim along the top and bottom frames the design. Evenly spaced medallions add depth and interest, giving the cornice a bold, Old World flair.

Rich, patterned drapery panels are swept to the sides using the same medallions as holdbacks, while sheer panels behind are drawn into the same holdbacks, softening the look and allowing natural light to filter into the room. The result is a layered treatment that blends grandeur with practicality.

This design speaks to the heart of custom window treatments—where craftsmanship, proportion, and artistry come together. More than just décor, it creates atmosphere. It frames the view beautifully, adds character to the space, and brings a touch of Old World sophistication into modern living.
