2nd hand curtains bought on Ebay

Hi, I bought a pair of expensive 2nd hand curtains off Ebay in May, I've just noticed this morning that both pairs have started to rot. They are made of cotton and silk, and it is the silk panel on both sides that's deteriorating, is there any come back after 4months? Many thanks in advance

    Hi I doubt you can as they are second hand. You could contact the seller and ask but it does seem a bit late.
    Its sounds as if its damp of some sort in your home thats the cause.

    After 4 months I would agree with the above comment and look to see what you have in the house causing this problem.

    It does sound like something causing it to rot rather than them being faulty.

    Was it a business you bought it off on Ebay? If so it may be worth asking their advice.
