I love these style curtains but have no idea what they're are called so can't find any!

It's not really a curtain, just a sort of swag draped round a pole. You couldn't draw it so it's not functional, hence the shutters.

It's not really "curtains". More like fancily draped fabric.

You won't be able to get any ready made like this as they will be made to measure.

If you can find a local independent curtain maker they probably wouldn't be that expensive to have made. There's not much fabric in them.

Beautiful isnt it.
Its made up of four seperate pieces made to look like its one piece. The joins are on the back of the pole.

That pole is massively thick - about 11" circumference - and probably made of mahogany or similar. The swags are possibly velcro'd, or stapled to it at the back.

Going by the size of the seat in front, that window is about 100" wide.

Only the Swags are cut on the bias to get those lovely folds (without kinks) - the Tails are not. So roughly 1 Swag 75" wide and 1 at 25".

You can get the same effect for your window by scaling it down. Would recommend you buy a wooden pole to enable the stapling-into at the back and the thickest one you can find. You could find one similar to the picture via an interior designer.

It doesnt cost anything to make enquiries on costs so dont give up yet. Good Luck.
