handforged made to measure wrought iron portiere rods



Whilst traditionally a wrought iron portiere makes an excellent solution for covering a draughty door, a pair of small portieres can help to maximise light in deeply recessed or dormer windows.


All of our portieres are handmade to your exact specifications and you can choose from our full range of beautifully forged finials.


We supply two types of portiere for supporting door curtains: a standard wall mounted portiere which is operated manually and a self-closing portiere which moves with the door.



Standard portieres

Our standard wall-mounted portiere is operated manually and has a single, hinged bracket mounted at the side of the door frame or on an adjacent wall. On longer portieres, or if your curtain is very heavy, we can supply a special portiere support bracket to give additional support when the pole is in its open or closed position.


Self-closing portieres

The self-closing portiere has a hinge assembly and a support bracket which attaches directly to the door allowing the curtain to move with the door. The main hinge can be mounted on the wall at the side of the door, onto an adjacent wall or onto the door frame itself.


Portiere pairs

For dormer or deeply recessed windows. instead of a standard curtain pole, you could consider using a pair of small portieres. These make an ideal solution for particularly small windows, enabling you to pull the curtains away from the window and maximise the amount of available light.

For an obligation free quotation just tell us the overall width of the recess, your preferred choice of finial and whether you would like the finials to overlap slightly in the centre and we will be pleased to advise.


Special portieres

All of our portieres are made to measure and we understand that there are some situations that will need something non-standard. We'll always do our best to help. If you need to talk or discuss your requirements in more detail, just pick up the telephone and speak to us on 01226 766618 or email on sales@nigeltyas.co.uk. It often helps enormously if you are able to email an image of your doorway and then we can discuss the options with you.

In certain circumstances we can also scale up the proportions of the portiere and use a 16mm diameter pole for the self-closing portiere and 22mm diameter pole for a standard portiere. Please contact us for more information.
