Description
A curtain rod forged from 5/8″ thick solid iron, made to the length you choose — 40″, 50″, 60″, 70″, or 80″ of usable area. The total length of the rod runs 5–10″ longer than the size you select, which gives you the overhang past the window trim.
Four finial choices close out the ends: Shep Hook, Feather, Curl, or Flare. Three finishes: Brushed Steel, Blackened, or Brass Brushed (finish details below). Mounting brackets and hardware are included.
Two things worth knowing before you order. Rods over 80″ in total length are fabricated in two equal sections joined at the midpoint, and a center support bracket is required for structural stability — an additional fee applies to that configuration. The maximum rod length we make is 170″.

Heirloom-Quality Finishes: Using only the highest-quality products, our finishes are both beautiful and durable, letting the craftsmanship of our handwork shine while standing up to high-traffic, moisture-prone areas like baths and appliance pulls. By combining zero-VOC undercoats with hardening wax, we create a richer, deeper finish than paint — one that can be reapplied at any time to restore its original luster. Unlike other coatings that chip or fade, this finish keeps surfaces looking their best. Tested hundreds of times over years, it’s proven to be the most durable and beautiful choice available.
Oil Blackened: Satin black with light touches of grey, this finish allows the texture and forge work to come through. Our black oxide process penetrates into the metal, actually changing the color of the iron itself. This results in a deep, rich satin black that adds depth and character to the piece.
Brushed Steel: This finish lies between a nickel/pewter hue with a satin sheen. It goes well with both modern and rustic decor. This is not a high shine, factory gloss kind of look. Some forge scale will be present which gives this finish a slightly antiqued / hand forged quality.
Brass Brushed: This finish is achieved by heating the piece and hand brushing using a solid brass bristle brush. The brass integrates with the steel creating a very durable and amazingly beautiful darkened brass/bronze coloration. The brush strokes are visible, contributing a visual texture to this timeless look.

Marlene –
These curtain rods and brackets are top quality. I ordered four different rods with matching brackets for my home with the intention of purchasing quality hardware to last a lifetime. These rods and brackets meet that intention. Not only am I pleased with the product, but the communication and timely delivery was excellent. I have purchased many other hardware products from Element including towel rods and hooks, along with cabinet knobs and pulls and everything I purchased was of fantastic quality.
