DESCRIPTION Complete your window dressing with our 25mm classic curtain pole in our rustic old ivory finish for a lovely forged iron look that will suit modern and period homes alike. These curtain rods are made to measure from premium quality, high strength steel tubing and are suitable for any sized windows and fabric weight. We also make a wide range of complementary finials, brackets and rings for you to choose from that you can select from the Recommended Accessories above, or using the links below. PRODUCT INFORMATION Pole Length Any length of pole can be ordered, but if over 180cm long we would recommend using a central support bracket If over 210cm long the pole will be supplied in two (or more) equal parts with a joiner rod. The join will be covered by your centre bracket. Finish: Old Ivory - created by overlaying the metal with gold paint and an ivory top coat that is carefully distressed to reveal the gold underneath. The powder coating process insures the finish is smooth and durable and gives it a soft, shabby chic finish that will look particularly good in any traditional setting. To find out more about our finishes and how best to maintain them, please read our Caring for Painted Products page. Curtain Pole Guide Which Pole Should I Choose?
