On receipt of the curtains, the threads were already pulled and metal hooks inserted ready to hang. (though i had to add a few more hooks) They weren’t badly creased so I didn’t bother ironing them. I soon had them hung in my bedroom and for the rest of the day kept going upstairs to admire them! They were the Tuileries, Blossom design. They look like someone has just sat down and painted them with watercolours. I love them, and would consider matching bedding if it was available.
