An antique style curtain rod bracket is made exactly like the modern ones, but once manufactured, they are treated to appear aged and made to look worn and beat, something similar to what is done for the new shabby chic style of furniture. Antique and ancient styles may start as far back as the roman empire or the Phoenicians.

Curtain rod hooks are an alternative to curtain rod brackets; they are usually smaller and less detailed. They direct attention to the curtain and the rod instead of to themselves; they have always been used as mere hanging instruments and not as decoration. However times have changed and our tastes have changed with them.

Decorative curtain rods are made in a variety of different materials and styles. Wooden rods are very decorative but they are a little heavy and require strong bases to hold them to the wall. Care must be taken if you will be hanging heavy drapes on wooden rods, as they can easily be broken.

Swinging arm curtain rods were not originally designed to be used on the farm or the beach; they were designed to be used in regular homes everywhere. The difference between them and a normal curtain rod with brackets or hooks is that the swinger can be removed and moved to the side or put in a different position. Curtains on them don’t only hang down but outwards from the wall.

A wood curtain rod can be a magnificent piece of work; but the quality often depends on where you get it, if it is machine made or handmade, and what kind of wood was used in its manufacture. Other important issues are also vital to take into account when deciding on your curtain rod. Do you want a simple new rod, obtainable from a local store or flee market? Or do you want a classic antique piece where you may have to go to an antique store to get it? Also what kind of finish should it have, is it carved or is it smooth, is it varnished or is it finely finished with bees wax.
