Decorative Rods & Finials
Decorative rods and finials are where the drapery meets the architecture. The studio specifies hand-forged iron, unlacquered brass, hand-turned wood, and custom-cast bronze — hardware that reads as part of the millwork, never as an accessory.
Why Choose Rods & Finials
Why Choose This Style
We avoid plated and lacquered finishes; they age poorly and read commercial within a year.
Finial scale is calibrated to ceiling height and room formality — oversized in tall formal rooms, understated in tailored contemporaries.
Custom finials are commissioned regularly for projects where stock options compromise the room.
