Daryl Ford, a blacksmith based in Devon with over 40 years experience, has specialised in making curtain poles since 1993.
Fine craftsmanship, unique designs, guaranteed quality and personal service make us possibly the best specialist curtain pole supplier in the UK.
All our poles are made from solid black mild steel. The design of our fittings has been refined over 32 years. Our system is practical, durable and flexible. You can change the decorative ends and even adapt poles if you move home.
Making items to order gives you flexibility; we can make brackets to fit difficult situations. If you are unsure, just send a picture to Daryl, he will give you free advice.
Bespoke service doesn't mean long lead times, just ask when ordering if you have an urgent deadline.

We are so pleased with our drapery arm. The company were really helpful when I ordered - I sent photos and they told me what I needed as it's an awkward shaped door (I nearly ordered the wrong thing!). The drapery arm fits perfectly, and looks beautiful. The craftsmanship is excellent. We used a thick kilim fabric to make a curtain and it blocks drafts perfectly, and looks really smart.","products":[{"image":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0862/3202/products/Wrought_iron_drapery_arm_standard_bracket.jpg?v=1568647050","productLink":"https://www.blacksmithcollection.com/products/wrought-iron-drapery-arm-with-standard-bracket","title":"20mm Solid Wrought Iron Drapery Arm with Standard Bracket","handle":"wrought-iron-drapery-arm-with-standard-bracket"}],"firstName":"Nina G","createdAt":"2022-01-04T00:00:00.000Z","rate":5,"productIds":[5852687233],"countryCode":"UK","hasImages":false,"helpful":0,"status":"approved","pinned":false,"isFeatured":false,"id":"CnIHLq8InZJW5lq7qTyT","isProductExists":true},{"images":[],"notHelpful":0,"source":"Imported","content":"Perfect curtain pole.

A really strong, solid curtain rail that is holding up our huge, heavy curtains perfectly and looks beautiful in our 600 plus year old listed property. The coach screws are a lovely 'extra touch' very much in keeping with the house. \n\nI will most definitely be back for more rails I due course!","products":[{"image":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0862/3202/products/20mmwithdiscsideview.jpg?v=1629718533","productLink":"https://www.blacksmithcollection.com/products/solid-wrought-iron-pole-with-disc-finials","title":"Wrought Iron Curtain Pole with Discs","handle":"solid-wrought-iron-pole-with-disc-finials"}],"firstName":"Amanda Alleyne","createdAt":"2021-12-13T00:00:00.000Z","rate":5,"productIds":[6755253387311],"countryCode":"UK","hasImages":false,"helpful":0,"status":"approved","pinned":false,"isFeatured":false,"id":"jKSNfYxoW9o4EuIHrhJa","isProductExists":true},{"images":[],"notHelpful":0,"source":"Imported","content":"Beautifully crafted. I knew when I stumbled upon this artisan site that this was what I had been looking for. Drapery arms arenât easy to find and most of whatâs available is made from a thin steel or aluminium tube with plastic curtain rings. I knew from previous experience just how flimsy they are and quite expensive by comparison for an inferior product. These are beautiful, sturdy, accurately made and solid. They are, in my humble opinion, well worth the small amount extra for such a lovely enhancement to your home.
