The Button finial, 25mm iron curtain pole

Looking just like a large handmade rivet, our Button finial will bring a simple, traditional look to your room. The beeswax finish will enhance its look and push the classic design into contemporary spaces.

The Button has a 40mm round button forged into the ends. Look closely at the detail of the finial, and you will see the hammer marks left by the forging process. A simple, practical yet elegant finial that will suit any window. Unlike many Button Finials available on the market, we forge ours so that the curtain rings cannot fall off the end of the pole.

Measuring up

Measuring for a straight window pole is a simple job and requires just three quick steps:

Firstly, where is the pole going to go? Stand back, look at the window, and check that there are no beams, light switches, or fittings in the way of a straight mount above the window. One option, if there are obstructions, is our Recess Curtain Pole and brackets. As our curtain poles are all handmade to order, we can also create a bespoke solution just for you.

Ideally, the pole should be mounted 15cm above the top of the window. If you have a low ceiling, mount it halfway between the ceiling and the top of the window.
Measure the width of your window. Remember to measure in centimetres.
For the drawbacks (the area where the curtain hangs when drawn back), we recommend 10% of the width of the window. Just divide the window width by 10. This is added to the pole's overall length. If you have thicker/heavier curtains, add one or two centimetres to allow for the additional thickness.

Also, in the video below, Richard explains how to take measurements before ordering.

How to measure for your curtain pole

Reviews

Just to let you know the curtain pole arrived yesterday, and is already fitted over the door complete with a door curtain - it is lovely and I am delighted with it. It is exactly what I envisaged - the pole is the exact length, and the brackets you made are perfect! I am so glad I chose the button ends - they are perfect for our low narrow hallway. I have sent you a couple of photos so you can see it in situ.

Many thanks for your excellent workmanship and service.

Just a quick email to thank you for the two amazing curtain poles that you’d made for us recently. Each were perfect. The highest of quality, and my son is Thrilled with his gift! Your service and communication are incredible and we’d absolutely shout about your company from the roof tops.

Thanks so much for the replacement pole. It looks great and is just the right length - that extra bit made all the difference. The new pole and finial with rings are wonderful. I love the fact that I feel like I can see the hammer marks. Now I can’t wait for the curtain to complete the finished look.

We really appreciate the great service. It was very kind of you to help us out with the replacement pole, seeing as I messed up the measuring. Now we need to find a sensible use for the other pole!!!
