[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 9493291, member: 51"]Thanks, AJ. :) So like a valance for some kind of cermony? When I first picked it up at the garage sale I thought it was some kind of shawl or part of a dress, but it is definitely a valance for over a window. Apologies I didn't get a full photo of the entire back of the piece. There is a 2 inch area the length of it that a curtain rod would go through. I feel like I've seen newer items like this, from 30 years ago or so, but then started 2nd guessing and when he said, "just take it for free", figured nothing lost, nothing gained. Could this be antique? I *think* the material is silk, silk-like in any case. No idea what I'm even going to do with it, but might treat it differently if it might be an antique. Keep the excellent thoughts coming![/QUOTE]
