Window valance

A window valance is a form of window treatment that covers the uppermost part of the window and can be hung alone or paired with other window blinds or curtains. Valances are a popular decorative choice in concealing drapery hardware. Window valances were popular in Victorian interior design.

In draping or bunting form they are commonly referred to as swag.
