Thank you for the curtain poles, safely received yesterday. They look very good and it’s such a pleasure to enjoy such craftsmanship.

Hello,
Just wanted to send a pic with the curtains up, we are completely blown away. When we first started looking for a curtain pole for this room, all the companies we spoke to said “that’ll be a problem” and we didn’t think we’d get a solution that would allow us to keep the views into the garden (most companies wanted us to keep the pole within the recess, rather than loop around the walls).
So for us to get a pole so perfectly designed to the bay window, and to meet our desire to keep the glass completely unobstructed by curtains, means we have been able to keep an (almost) panoramic view into the garden. It’s my favourite room in the house now. Thank you.
All the best,
Mandy & Eoin
Dear Emer

Installed thank you, looks good. I was just hoping my measurements were correct but all angles fitted perfectly. Hardest thing was getting the finial brackets to look at right level and pole wanted to be higher.
All looks good, worth the investment thank you.

Hope you are well.

Hi Stephen, you made a reasonably complicated pole for my bay back in March (it even made it into your blog)… just thought you’d like to see it in place! Need to pick the curtains now.
I’d say it fits the space perfectly, thanks for your ingenious idea with the angles and bends.
Best wishes

Hi Stephen,
Two things, firstly I ordered two double poles a good few months ago now and they look just as I had imagined hung on our wall, so thank you very much for the work you put in to them, I’ll definitely be recommending you if anyone mentions they are on the hunt for curtain poles!
Secondly, because they did look so good I would like to order another curtain pole for another room, this time just a single curtain pole:
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Cheers,
Louis
Hi Stephen,
I trust you had a good Christmas.
The curtain rail arrived and has been fitted. We are delighted with it but think we will probably need matching holdbacks. What dimensions are the holdbacks you advertise?
