Panache in Poles and Panels
A closeup of the custom Helser Brothers French pole. I love the decorative baseplate this company offers, which sets it apart from most French poles. This type of drpaery hardware is ideal where a window is close to a wall, and there is little room for finials, but also is a good modern approach in drapery hardware. Classic French pleats give structure to the drapery panels, which are stationary, but reduce light gap around the wood blinds.
