Our 7/8" diameter return rods (French rods) are handmade to your specifications with a graceful 90 degree return at each end. 

French return curtain rods are not just for looks! This sleek design was made to keep the light from peeking out from behind your curtains. Great for bedrooms or spaces where you want to have control over the brightness of the room. This also adds a few inches of extra rod on each side that goes into the wall making it a great choice for tight spaces. French return curtain rods allow the drapes to stack back against the wall giving you a clean and polished look. 

7/8" rods over 72" long will require center support mounts. 

Bypass mounts and C-Rings are required if you need the curtain to draw past the support mounts.

Additional Information

Our 7/8″ diameter return rods (French rods) are hand made to your specifications with a graceful 90 degree return at each end.

The mounting hardware on the 90 degree return is 3/4" wide and 4" high.

Bypass Mounts and C-Curtain Rings are recommended for all rods with corner bends to allow your draperies to stack neatly into the corners of the window.

To protect your rod from damage during shipping it is best for us to split 7/8″ diameter rods over 80″ in the center and ship in two pieces. Rest assured, we can easily guarantee that any of our joined curtain rods will be as strong and functional as a one-piece curtain rod. When our rods are split for shipping, they and joined together internally with a center connector so there is never a bump for your curtains to hang up on.

Order changes on custom curtain rods can be made within 24 hours of placing the order. Since all curtain rods are custom cut to your measurements, we can not make changes after the 24 hours.

Our antique black finish is a very deep flat black reminiscent of the hand applied carbon and wax finishes used by yesterday’s blacksmiths.

Our hand applied iron oxide patina finish is the most versatile finish we produce. It is the correct choice for rustic and Tuscan decor and blends perfectly with your oil rubbed bronze, rusty brown, or black iron decor.

Our hand applied burnished silver patina finish has rich nickel silver highlights with antique black iron undertones and blends well with stainless or nickel accessories and decor.

Our hand applied antique gold patina finish has rich deep gold highlights with antique black iron undertones reminiscent of Spanish and Italian treasure.

Curtain rod orders ship within 3-4 weeks via UPS ground.

The maximum length we can ship curtain rods in one piece is 94″ however, we will generally split curtain rods at the mounting points if over 80″. We have developed a system that is invisible, strong, easy to assemble, and will allow you to build a high-quality curtain rod without concern of sagging or poor performance.
