velvet curtains
Soft theater dividers
Velvet curtains are heavy drapes made from velvet fabric, typically used to block light, muffle sound, or add richness to a room.
They carry associations of theaters, formal spaces, and old-world elegance: The velvet curtains parted to reveal the stage.
In figurative use, drawing back the velvet curtain means revealing what's hidden behind ceremony or show.
