Traditional swags take on a look of easy elegance. They are among the most impressive of all window treatments and bring distinction and classic form to windows. Although they were once found only in the most opulent settings, today they can be found in many homes with a casual or formal look like the treatment shown here. Dramatic damask silk fabric makes up these swags and jabots while the center swag, side panels and the jabot lining are a rich gold silk.
Side panels, tied back, are added to give a more formal look to the dining room and paired with them are sheer panels. They not only add fullness to this large window but give a sense of softness and sheer beauty allowing the sun to pick up on their sheen.
