By definition a swag is an ornamental drapery or curtain draped in a curve between two points. In this instance there are three swags on this window. A jabot is the folded fabric that tapers to a point, usually used in conjunction with swags. They are also sometimes referred to as swags and cascades. Again on this window treatment we have two long jabots, one on each side to frame the window and the view, as well as two shorter jabots placed between the swags.These help to fill in the gap since the swags in this instance do not overlap. A generous tassel fringe adorns the entire treatment.
