Our wrought iron Café Poles are made to measure from solid 12mm iron bar.
For recess bracket fitting please measure the FULL width of the recess in centimetres where the Café Pole will be fitted as accurately as possible. Or if using face fix brackets please supply full length of pole required.

Our Café Curtain Rods are slim, lightweight and stylish. Made from a strong 12mm solid metal rod, they are made to last and most importantly made to your exact measurements for a perfect fit. Our Café Rod brackets are small and discreet which fit neatly each side of the window opening - attaching to the frame, or alternatively inside the window recess. If the brackets shown are not going to suit your window please do contact us to discuss a bespoke alternative.
Café curtain poles are the ideal solution to cover the bottom half of any window to gain that extra level of privacy but still maintaining maximum light. If you would like to add a decorative finial to the end of the pole we offer a simple but stylish Café Button finial.
The interior designers who use these Café Rods frequently use pocket sewn, sheer fabrics or unlined light cotton or linen. Usually the curtain is short, lightweight and not lined but really the choice is yours.
"Our design for The Hunter’s Moon, the British country pub in the heart of South Kensington, champions comfort and cosy get togethers...Café curtains in the front window added to the intimate setting and created a soft barrier between the busy Fulham Road and cosy pub within. Again, a subtle fixing method that was both practical and refined in design was lovingly created and installed.”
Nicola Lindsell, Boxx Creative.
