pelmet
Curtain rod concealer
A pelmet is a decorative frame or board fitted above a window to conceal the curtain rod and hardware.
It serves both practical and aesthetic purposes, giving windows a finished look while hiding the mechanical elements of window dressings.
The term is primarily British; Americans typically say valance or cornice.
