A Word About Hand Smocked Window Treatments

OUR EXCLUSIVE HAND SMOCKED WINDOW TREATMENTS are our most prestigious range of British styled Hand Made Curtains, Valance, bed canopies, balloon shades and Thundersley’s exclusive designed smocked cornice adorned with contrasting threads and more. The style shown here is a traditional 4” hand smocked serpentine shaped valance over a pair of curtains lined and interlined made for a client of Parish Hadley. The designer on this project was Michael Zabriskie who went on to partner with Scott Salvator Inc. in NYC. Here at Thundersley we do not use draw string tape on our smocking as the majority of our competitors do. Our tip of the day; ask your custom workroom if they use tape on their smocked treatments. Tape draw string is actually fake smocking! Call us for pricing handmade smocked treatments prior to committing to a tape headed treatment elsewhere.  Luxury smocked cornice spectacular on a Bay window!

Thundersley at its finest! “Feel At Home” “OUR HAND SMOCKED TREATMENTS ARE NOT TAPE HEADED” Other workrooms promote their smocking as handmade but in actual fact, it’s not. We offer both bespoke hand smocking and tape headed too, however, our clients are informed of the difference of what they are indeed paying for. How can you tell that your hand smocked curtains are not tape headed? Thundersley’s Tip for the day………Take a look at the back of the smocked area and you will see plainly the tape machined onto the back of the smocked area. Hand smocking does not show machine lines coming through to the front. Our hand smocked treatments will last a life time without compromising the luxurious look and style.
