French return curtain poles

[deathb4decaf]

Has anyone seen these to buy in the uk? I’ve been to lots of shops and looked online. I can only find very expensive made to order ones, which are lovely but out of my price range!

It looks like John Lewis has brackets which you could fit a pole into for a similar effect.

I’ve seen them made from building supplies and brass piping. Hard to describe but these types of pieces

Thank you, I would like them to be black ideally so the John Lewis ones wouldn’t work... I’ll look into the building supplies idea- I wonder if it’s strong enough though. I noticed next were selling some poles which looked like that actually, but I thought they looked a bit too industrial- I just want something simple!
