If your into decorating using a Victorian theme this is the throw for you. It's absolutely gorgeous. The material is a cotton blend with a slight sheen to it when under the evening lighting. The folds and gathers in the throw are very full coming together in the middle with a large rosette in the middle and to my surprise is quite thick as it has a layer of batting sew inside. I choose the cream to lay on the back of my sofa and everyone who has seen it complimented how soft and elegant it was. It's priced just right for the high quality that it is.
