Holland & Sherry Chevalier
Wool sheer, 1 colourway, 76% wool, 24% silk. Holland & Sherry's own figures, and how we make it up as sheers in our Fort Lauderdale workroom, from the cloth your designer orders.
A wool sheer in one colourway
Chevalier is a wool sheer from Holland & Sherry (76% wool, 24% silk, made in the UK). Holland & Sherry list one colourway, White. They file it with their sheers.
Wool is naturally flame resistant but not sun resistant: it fades and weakens in direct sun, so on bright south or west glass a solar roller behind the sheer takes the sun first. It can stretch a little over time in humid air, and it is happiest in an air-conditioned room (what each fibre does).

What Chevalier does at the window, and what it does not
Best use
Chevalier is a sheer: daylight and the view by day, ripplefold or pinch pleat on a ceiling track, with a lined or blackout panel on a second track behind it in a bedroom. Holland & Sherry list no width for it on their product page, so the roll width is confirmed before deciding whether it runs seamless.
Light and privacy
A sheer filters hard sunlight into an even glow and keeps the view. It gives no privacy at night with the lights on, so a bedroom takes a lined or blackout panel on a second track behind it.
Cloth and care
76% wool, 24% silk.
Limitations
No privacy at night with the lights on, and no blackout; it is layered where either is needed. Natural fibres fade in hard sun, so on unshaded south or west glass a solar roller behind it takes the sun first. No NFPA 701 result in Holland & Sherry's data, so a condo common area or a commercial job that asks for it needs the cloth flame treated with a certificate, if Holland & Sherry can supply it that way, or another cloth. Holland & Sherry list no width on the product page, so the width is confirmed before the yardage is.

How Chevalier becomes sheers in your home
Your designer specifies
Holland & Sherry sell to the trade, so the cloth is chosen and ordered by your designer, with the colour code and the sample in hand. Not working with a designer? Tell us; we can suggest a cloth we order ourselves.
We measure and give the yardage
We measure the windows, settle the style, the fullness and the lining, and work out the yardage on the width and the repeat, so the order to Holland & Sherry is right the first time.
We make and install
The cloth comes to our Fort Lauderdale workroom, where our five in-house seamstresses cut and sew the sheers, and our own installers hang them on the rod, track or motorized system the window calls for.
Where Chevalier works here
Sheers are our most requested drapery, from Brickell and Miami Beach condos to Fort Lauderdale waterfront homes and Palm Beach island, and Chevalier would be made up the way ours are: ripplefold on a ceiling track, deep double hems weighted to hang plumb, the fullness set for the cloth, as across five rooms at the Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach on Lutron Sivoia QS tracks (other cloths, to the designer's schedule). Every panel is cut and sewn by our five in-house seamstresses in Fort Lauderdale.
For the same use, compare Chevalier with Senorita (sheer wool boucle, 5 colourways), Earl (wool sheer, 1 colourway) and Empress (wool sheer, 1 colourway).
Chevalier: frequently asked
How many colours does Holland & Sherry Chevalier come in?
One, White, on Holland & Sherry's site when we read it on October 7, 2026. It is listed on this page with its code; Holland & Sherry's photograph of it is on their own site, linked from the table.
Can I buy Chevalier from you?
No. Holland & Sherry sell to the trade, so your designer orders the cloth from them. We make it up and install it: we measure and work out the yardage, the cloth is sent to our Fort Lauderdale workroom, and our seamstresses cut and sew the sheers.
Is Chevalier fire rated for drapery?
Holland & Sherry's data gives no NFPA 701 result for it. For a residence that is not an issue; where a building asks for NFPA 701 on the drapery, ask your designer whether Holland & Sherry can supply it flame treated with a certificate, or choose another cloth.
What does Chevalier cost made up as sheers?
The cloth is bought through your designer at Holland & Sherry's price, so our quote covers what we make and install: the fabrication, the track or rod and the installation, worked out from the measure. Ask for a workroom price with the button above and we come back with a figure, not a range.
