Unfortunately I have no picture of this. The text is a caption in an article about a renovated hotel in Zurich.
"Die feine Handarbeit des Smok wird hier für die Gestaltung der Vorhangabschlüsse verwendet."
I asked this question earlier on today but received no satisfactory answer. It's a tough one, I know...

curtain finishes
I can only think of the following:
The fine technique of smocking has been used for the curtain finishes here.
"Smocking" is a decorative needlework technique, sort of like machine embroidery. Usually used on little girls' dresses, etc.
