Certain to replace the last one with the ultimate Nouveau drape (7)
I believe the answer is:
curtain
'drape' is the definition.
(I know that drape can be written as curtain)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for curtain that I've seen before include "Hanging material screen" , "It can be drawn" , "Window drape" , "Hanging cloth" , "Hanging, window cover" .)
