Not every window is suitable for a curtain pole mounted on the surface of the wall, for deeply recessed windows we developed our metal, 20mm Recess Curtain Pole. Our 20mm wrought iron Recess Pole sits neatly in two hand-made Recess Brackets and can support heavier-weight curtains while still staying discreet. More »

The Recess Bracket has a tiny hole to pass a thread through to keep the curtain from sliding all the way across the pole when pulled or drawn.
Made by the Forge believes in exceptional quality and simple, yet elegant designs. We handcraft beautiful wrought iron products that will last a lifetime.
When your order arrives, you’ll find your new Recess Curtain Pole, Recess Brackets and Curtain Rings you’ve ordered as well as the screws needed to secure the brackets, so you can get your new curtain pole up without delay.
We also offer Recess Curtain Poles in 12mm, 16mm and 25mm diameters
Material: Our wrought iron Recess Poles are made to measure from a solid 20mm iron rod.
Finish: Choose from a Matt Black Paint finish or a Natural Beeswax finish. Both finishes are classic and will enhance the beauty of the wrought iron pole.
Measuring: Please measure the FULL width of the recess in centimetres where the curtain pole will be fitted as accurately as possible. We will supply the correct length curtain pole to fit between the Recess Brackets based on your measurements.

How to measure for your Recess Curtain Pole

“You supplied us with a 20mm recess curtain pole earlier this year and we were delighted with it.”

“You are welcome to use the photo I sent. You might also be interested in this as well which you supplied in 2020. We are absolutely delighted with this pole too since it looks so minimal with our modern slim profile sliding doors. Do use this too if you like.”

“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.”
Apologies for the delay in writing but it’s been a little hectic here in the past few days. Just wanted to offer my warm thanks for the recess curtain poles. They are lovely quality and are already in place in our recesses with new curtains!
