Drapery Medallion

Silk is often called the “queen of fabrics”, and for good reason. Nothing looks, feels, or performs like silk! Silk is made from “twin” cocoons, naturally bonded together. The slight bumps, or “slubs” in the fabric are evidence of this fiber bonding in nature.

One truth that we see year-after-year in our business, as interior design trends change, is that there are a few styles that endure. Think of them as the short black cocktail dress of fashion.

It just seems that in any length, width or pleat style, the simple silk drape seem to compliment any interior. You just can’t go wrong with classic elegance and versatility.
