MADRAS or SCOTTISH LACE

Our range of cotton leno gauze Madras laces are woven on the original 19th century looms and in the same factory that introduced the designs at that time.

Available in panels of varying length and width width a 'turned over top' to accommodate a 1" (25mm) dowel or rod)

The most common and practical size favoured by 19th century homemakers was to purchase completed panels 3½ yards (3 200mm)in length and fold the excess over the curtain rod to form a self valance. This can be further enhanced by sewing a thread in the centre of the valance and drawing it up towards the top to form a double swag. Other variations are possible by experimentation.

This also enables the curtains to be adjusted if necessary for shrinkage and for use on other sized windows if moving.
