Holland & Sherry Duquesa
Wool sheer, 2 colourways, 100% wool. Holland & Sherry's own figures, and how we make it up as sheers in our Fort Lauderdale workroom, from the cloth your designer orders.
2 colourways of wool sheer
Duquesa is a wool sheer from Holland & Sherry (100% wool, made in the UK). The range runs to 2 colourways: Ivory and White. They file it with their sheers.
A wool sheer brings a softness a polyester voile does not have, and wool resists flame on its own; what it does not resist is hard sun, so on unshaded west glass a solar roller behind it does the shading. In a lived-in, air-conditioned house it is at home (curtain fabric types).

What Duquesa does at the window, and what it does not
Best use
Duquesa 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
100% wool.
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 Duquesa 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 Duquesa works here
On the ocean side of a Sunny Isles or Fort Lauderdale living room, Duquesa would hang floor to ceiling on a ceiling-mounted track, hand-drawn or motorized on Lutron or Somfy, with a solar roller behind it for the glare and, in a bedroom, a blackout panel on a second track. It is cut and sewn in our Fort Lauderdale workroom and installed by our own team from Miami to Palm Beach.
For the same use, compare Duquesa with Rustic Sheer (boucle sheer, 55 in, 4 colourways), Senorita (sheer wool boucle, 5 colourways) and Bebe (sheer wool crepe, 3 colourways).
Duquesa: frequently asked
How many colours does Holland & Sherry Duquesa come in?
2 colourways on Holland & Sherry's site when we read it on October 7, 2026: Ivory and White. Every one is listed on this page with its code; Holland & Sherry's photographs of each are on their own site, linked from the table.
Can I buy Duquesa 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 Duquesa 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 Duquesa 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.
