Thumper Finial, 20mm iron curtain pole

Our superb 20mm curtain poles and finials are handcrafted by expert blacksmiths. Take a closer look at the finial and you will see the hammer marks still visible from the forging process.

Our own tree planting pledge inspires the finial on this wrought iron curtain pole. The tool that we use to thump in tree roots was our inspiration for the Thumper Finial. It differs from the classic Cannonball by having a forged, flattened end.

  • 20mm diameter pole suitable for heavy curtains.
  • Finished in Matt Black Paint or Natural Beeswax.
  • Made to measure for the perfect fit.
  • Effortlessly stylish with a timeless design.
  • Inspired by our tree planting pledge.
  • Comes with a lifetime guarantee.
  • Planet-friendly, recyclable metal handcrafted in the UK, at our Suffolk forge.

Measuring up

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

  1. 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 a 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, it should be mounted halfway between the ceiling and the top of the window.
  2. Measure the width of your window. Remember to measure in centimetres.
  3. 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 overall length of the pole. 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

"Hello, I just got around to opening your curtain pole package now, a few weeks after receiving it.

I just wanted to feed back to you that we think that your products are of very high quality - the weight, the finish and have a fantastic handmade feel about them - the Thumper finials are a joy to look at and touch. It is a pleasure to have a bit of your craftsmanship in our newly renovated home. Thank you also for the generous free gift of a bathroom hook. I think we will be returning for more of these when we get around to the kitchen/bathroom in our renovation plan."

"First of all...a HUGE thank you for my beautifully made curtain pole, hold backs & Thumper finials. I can't wait to put them up! I was also wondering if you make dormer curtain poles for those "awkward" Windows in little cottages like mine?! (curtain les that "open" on hinges like cupboard doors when you can't use a standard pole)

Thanks and look forward hearing from you."

"Thank you very much for the delivery of our curtain poles, we have put them all up and they look fabulous."
