The 1908 Sears catalog we have in our reference library shows lots of lace
curtains, in white or cream color. Lambrequin lace valances are also shown.
(You will have to look that one up!) They also were selling opaque shades
at that time with decorative borders and fringe on the bottom. Olive green
and white were the colors. Good luck. Carol

Subject: curtains
We are trying to find out what curtains or drapes in all rooms of a house
would have looked like in 1908. Can anyone give me a resource to check for
this?
