Our range of slimline made-to-measure 12mm curtain poles offers a sleek and elegant design. Our curtain poles are handcrafted by our team of blacksmiths at our forge here in Suffolk and are designed to last a lifetime, which we confidently back with our lifetime guarantee.
Typically our 12mm curtain rods are used for cafe curtains, which sit halfway up a window frame. Due to their solid wrought iron construction, they are extremely versatile and can also be used as regular curtain poles for lighter weight and sheer fabrics while seamlessly blending into the room. Our curtain poles come in a beeswax or matt black finish.
Literally could not love them more. Thank you. Beautifully made, easy to fit and go precisely with the rest of our window furniture. The linen looks just as if hoped also. Wonderful craftsmanship, thank you.
I HIGHLY recommend Made by the Forge. We live in an old Tudor and were having a very difficult time finding a company who could match the quality of the original iron work in our home.
Made by the Forge exceeded our expectations. Everything from the quality of their iron work to their outstanding customer service and follow up was exceptional. Thank you to Jo and all of the people at Made by the Forge.

Couple of pics from the recent curtain pole you did for us. The angle mounts were spot on.
Not the easiest of windows to do but hey what do you expect in a 500 year old cottage!
This has really finished off this room, thank you.
Our 16mm curtain poles are a step up from those who require longer poles without centre brackets or those with heavier curtains.
Our handmade curtain rings are designed to compliment your new curtain pole. Made from the same hand-forged wrought iron these rings can support the heaviest of curtains.
If you need additional brackets to support your curtain pole then we’ve got you covered. Shop our range of curtain pole brackets and choose your favourite style.
