Silk

Natural sheen and a drape nothing synthetic can fake.

Silk is the fabric people picture when they picture luxury drapery, and for good reason. It catches light with a soft natural sheen, falls with a fluid weight, and reads instantly as elevated. We keep silk and silk blends on hand, the kind that, as one customer put it, look so rich they elevate the whole room with light and elegance.

What it is

Silk drapery fabric is woven from natural silk fibers, prized for its luster, fluid drape, and depth of color. For longevity at windows it is typically lined to protect it from sun and to add body.

Character

Natural luster

Silk reflects light softly and changes subtly through the day, which gives a room a living, layered quality.

Fluid drape

It hangs with a graceful weight that synthetics imitate but never quite match.

Best lined

We line silk drapery to protect the fiber from direct sun and to give the panel body and longevity.

Questions

Silk, answered.

Unlined silk can be sensitive to direct sun, which is exactly why we line silk drapery. A good lining protects the fiber and extends its life considerably.

Lined silk is well suited to living and dining rooms. For high-traffic or very sunny exposures we will talk you through linen or a durable blend instead.
