Curtains are fabric panels hung to cover or frame an opening. They can be drawn across a window for privacy and to limit incoming light, or gathered with tiebacks to leave the opening clear. The collection spans decorative drapery and stage curtains, with examples in colors such as green, red, and eggshell and a velvet example among the materials represented. Stage curtains have a theatrical role: they frame the performance space and can conceal or reveal the stage. Together, these examples show how color, fabric, and whether curtains are open or gathered distinguish different kinds of drapery.
