Mounting Brackets NOT Included. Please look for a separate bracket listing in the shop. CHOOSING THE CORRECT LENGTH: Length is based on the "hang-able area", meaning the decorative ends and brackets are not included in the measurements. The length you buy will be the area between each bracket and is the usable area. The brackets and decorative ends extend approximately 3 to 5" on each side. It is recommended to order a hang-able area at least 4" wider than your window width, This piece is hand made from reclaimed iron. I first start with very sturdy 5/8" solid steel bar. I hand forge it into shape using only traditional blacksmithing techniques. FINIAL AND FINISH: Finial options are from left to right in the main photo. Shepherd's Hook(left), Feather, Curl, and Flare(right). The finish in the main photo is Brushed Steel. An Oil Blackened finish is also available and can be seen on the 3rd photo. If your curtain grommet size is smaller than 3/4" you will need hooks as they will not fit around the 5/8" rod. If you require hooks just message me and I'll create a private listing for your order. BRUSHED STEEL FINISH: This is a brushed steel satin finish. After wire brushing, I add a no VOC clear coat which provides a barrier to help prevent corrosion. OIL BLACKENED FINISH: This satin black finish has touches of grey, and allows the texture and forge work in the steel to come through. Our process penetrates into the metal and provides a durable finish. Salt spray tested.
