This illustration from the Lindisfarne Gospels, 698 A.D., shows our twisted iron rod , tube bracket and curtain rings. 1300 years later Antique Drapery Rod is bringing you rare authentic ancient European quality. Our tortoiseshell bamboo has a 3000 year old hand finish technique using fire, earth and water. Our newest collection is Bauhaus Modern inspired by the German design school founded in 1919 with an authentic automotive heavy chrome finish. Our Hand-forged Simple Hooks: The post and hand-forged thumb are made precisely the same way as the wrought iron hooks that were hammered between the stones of Italian and French castles since the 16th century. Our Hand-forged Country French Hooks: This several hundred year old design originated with a French cross from the Crusades. Our Italian Stamped Leaves: Our acanthus leaves, grape leaves and grape clusters have been used in ironwork in one form or another since Roman times. Our imported Italian di Medici Medallion was originally cast for this famous Macheavellian family in the Middle Ages. Most of our wood and cast stone brackets and finials are cast directly from antique architectural fragments that we collect from all over Europe.
