Curtain rod covering (6)

I believe the answer is:

pelmet

(Other definitions for pelmet that I've seen before include "Ornamental strip to conceal curtain-rail" , "Valance board" , "Fringe over a curtain rail" , "Ornamental strip above window to conceal curtain rail" , "Valance, fringe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
