The Faux Silk Road

A small L.A. Thai spa I love has the prettiest curtains that the owner supposedly made from fabric bought somewhere in downtown L.A. (maybe in the import/fabric/clothing district). I would like to find some of this!
The pic doesn't do it justice but it's a light, yellowy golden cream color and a little shiny. Probably not real silk. The vine scrollwork on it almost looks like it has wheat stalks or something that looks like wheat stalks, embedded. The embroidery thread is not as contrasty as in the picture.
