Dressing Doors – Portière Rods

Our curtain poles are not exclusive to windows. The Portière rod is designed to feature curtains for doors and entrances as elegant decoration or practical insulation from draughts. The rod is attached above the door on a wall plate allowing the curtain to be drawn once the door is closed.

Door curtains come in many different configurations and Made by the Forge can make a door curtain pole for every door and every door space.

• There’s the pole that drapes curtains over the whole door, drawn back to access the door.
• There’s the drapery arm attached to the door itself that moves as the door moves.
• Then there is the rod on a hinge which moves as the door opens and is swung back into place as you draw the curtain along the pole.

Whatever your door space, Made by the Forge can make the perfect pole, easy to install straight out of the box.

Our Portière Door Curtain Rod is made of solid 20mm iron attached to a handmade bracket which screws to the wall and allows the rod full movement (given the room) of 180 degrees. The rod is made to measure for either left or right opening doors and can feature any finial from the 20mm range.

Ordering is easy on our website and we have a useful diagram to help and guide you through the process. The price is calculated too for you depending upon which finial you choose.

There are many ways to dress a door so we have showcased below some of the ways our clients have designed the pole to work with their door space.

Abbie from Abbie Fitzpatrick Design had this to say:

I just wanted to says thank you for all your gorgeous curtain poles. This is the third housing project I’ve used you on and you really never disappoint. And everyone I recommend you to has the same experience. I wanted to send a couple of (shoddy) photos of some of your pole in situ as they really make it. It was a tumble down farm house in southern Italy. I’ll send over the professional photos when we get everything complete.
Many thanks,
Abbie
