Also, they were not ironed. Washed, starched and put on curtain
strechers!!!! Sylvia, Knox Creek Heritage Center

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

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?
