This iron curtain pole is very striking in appearance. The black finish of the iron pole looks particularly stunning with Mediterranean colours, as the bold outline of the black makes a stunning contrast to the vibrant curtain fabrics. The polished iron finish has a more contemporary look about it and is suited to any style of curtain decor. Due to the strength of the iron the curtain pole is very strong and can take all weights of curtain fabric including heavy weight fabrics even though the curtain pole is only slender in design. This pole is for straight run curtains, but there is also bay window alternative which would be especially required if there are windows of both styles in a room.
