Let's face it. Style, elegance, and attractiveness are things the French are famous for. Made by the Forge's bespoke wrought iron French Curtain Pole delivers all the quality and handcrafted expertise you would expect from the UK's number one wrought iron curtain pole specialist, and adds a soupçon of Gallic charm. The pole has no finials as each end curves ninety degrees back to the wall, where the pole slides into a bracket. The advantage of such a pole is that it is much more efficient at keeping out draughts. More »

Made by the Forge is my first stop for the best French poles on the market.
Excellent product and customer service from Made by the Forge. We were ordering 2 French poles and one was for a very large window with heavy long curtains. I asked Richard to make an extra strong centre bracket to ensure the pole wouldn't bend over time and he couldn't have been more helpful about it. Bracket arrived in a few days. A very personal level of customer service which is unusual these days. Thank you MBTF. We will definitely be ordering again.
