Made-to-Measure Curtain Poles

The Nigel Tyas forge enters a new chapter as this 25-year heritage brand settles into its Suffolk workshop. Our full range of hand-forged designs will return in the coming months.

Wrought Iron Curtain Poles and Accessories from Nigel Tyas Ironwork

Choose from a variety of beautiful hand made curtain poles and finials.

Our most popular poles

Available in three diameters with detachable finials in a dozen beautiful designs. Traditional curtain poles can be made to any length (with poles over 200cm made in two pieces with discreet join). Please consult our Measuring Guide to help you measure your windows with confidence.

Made from high-quality, thick-walled tubular steel, they provide strength and rigidity, whilst minimising weight. These hollow curtain poles are suitable for fitting to any type of wall. They are actually stronger than solid poles and less liable to flex under the weight of curtains no matter what the length. We therefore recommend our traditional wrought iron curtain poles for any size of window.

You can order a straight made-to-measure traditional pole with your choice of finials using our quick and easy ordering process here.

We also have Cottage Poles available which are perfect for smaller windows - like the ones you find in small cottages. These add beautiful charm and yet do not overpower the frame like some of the bigger poles on the market. These are available in either 12mm or 16mm diameter and have a wide choice of finials.

Recess poles, Portieres and other styles.

If you require a pole to fit into a recess we have the answer with our beautiful Recess Curtain Poles. Choose from three different diameters to perfectly suit your window.

Our made-to-measure wrought iron portières with a single hinged bracket and a choice of handmade finials can be used to swing back and forth over doorways to keep out the cold. See portières.

Bay poles are bespoke and made upon request - please email the team for details.

More about fittings and accessories

Here at Nigel Tyas Ironwork, we make a range of hand-forged curtain pole brackets to suit any fitting requirement.

We recommend a central bracket, in addition to end brackets, for poles over two metres in length.

We have lots of experience in helping our customers find solutions to all sorts of tricky fitting challenges, and if necessary brackets can be made-to-measure for a perfect fit.

We also sell handmade curtain rings and accessories including holdbacks and tieback hooks.

*Please note, any curtain poles made-to-measure over 2 metres (200cm) in length are made in two parts to allow for shipping. These curtain poles are joined with a neat internal spigot and the discreet join is covered by the central wall bracket, required for this length of pole. (If for any reason you would prefer a long pole in one piece, this can be arranged but will incur a surcharge to cover specialist shipping costs. Additional brackets will be required in most cases - maximum single length available 2.4metres on certain diameters only).

Remember we are here to help. We do know it is important to feel confident in measuring and ordering your curtain poles, so please contact us on 01473 487 777 or or email sales@nigeltyas.co.uk with any queries.
