Made in the Shade with Electronic Glass Blinds According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, there is evidence of curtains being used in the ancient civilizations of Olynthus (in modern Greece), Pompeii (in modern Italy), and Herculaneum (also in modern Italy), although these cultures are believed to have used curtains as room dividers rather than window treatments. It wasn’t until the Renaissance—the 14th-17th century—that glass windows became common along with fabric to cover them.
