Old curtain arms question

[Mick_VT]

Does anybody have any good pictures of these things in use?

I'm interested in typical placement with respect to the window and casing etc.

Hah! I actually do. But interestingly, not in use in my home. I have this pic because of the stencil detail.



Sorry it's just a partial, but again, my focus was different.

I just did an img search, and discovered the source: http://artsandcraftshomes.com/newsletters/2011/how-to-wallpaper-and-paint-your-arts-and-crafts-home/ The image there actually shows the two rods instead of just the one corner.

Awesome! Thanks Lily.... and guess who has just installed that exact window trim on the windows he is considering these for?

Glad to be of service.

Serendipity is a wonderful beast, isn't it?

they look super neat but an eye level installation might be a bit of a risk

Ta-da, first test fit!

Yes I know they need levelling a bit :D

That's pretty cool. I dont' think I have seen curtain rods that swing away like that. They look really nice !

Spotted these "in the wild", as it were. Photo is from a listing on Old House Dreams. Seeing them in the doorway made me think of this thread. I don't know if they swing out the same, or swing "in", as it were. I've been having a hard time figuring it out. It appears that possibly, there is a track so they slide rather than swing. Anyone know?
