I bought these drapes from the Great Indoors after seeing them at a higher price somewhere else and doing an online search. They look so much better than the picture shows. The chocolate color, the one I have, is slightly lighter and more iridescent than the picture shows. The drapes have the look of silk, but they are machine washable. I know, because I did a furniture refinishing project just after buying them (stupid--involved sanding...dust everwhere) and had to wash--still look great! HIGHLY recommend!
