DESCRIPTION Our button ended portiere rod is designed to open and close with a door so you can hang curtains easily to keep out a draught. Hand crafted from high quality forged iron that is polished to a deep, gunmetal grey for a contemporary look, the portieres are 12mm thick and made to measure according to what length you require. All Jim Lawrence products are made using traditional metal working techniques and are hand finished to the very highest standards at our Suffolk workshop. To ensure your portiere is the correct length, we require the length from the tip of the finial to the centre of the hinge (The hinge is 2cm wide). For help with choosing and measuring your portiere, please read our handy Guide to Portieres in the Jim Lawrence Knowledge Base. Rings are sold separately and can be purchased by clicking on 'Recommended Accessories'. We suggest 1 ring every 7cm but you may want more if your curtain fabric is particularly heavy. This can be done from your basket, after you've added the rings. Finish Polished Lacquer: This really showcases the stunning natural patina of the metal and is a great choice for a contemporary home or to update a traditional one. To produce the gunmetal grey colour, we polish the metal then seal it with a high gloss clear lacquer to create a finish with great durability. The texture and patina of the iron itself gives the product character which looks wonderful with a grey or natural colour way and works particularly with other metallic finishes such as nickel. It also looks great against natural building materials such as brick, stone, plaster or woodwork and looks equally as good in a modern property as it does a period one. To find out more about our finishes and how to look after them, please read our Caring for Beeswax page in the Jim Lawrence Knowledge Base.
