Eaves and accessories for curtains

March 10th, 2007

TEMPUS STET, EDWARD HARLEY factories offer products which cannot be distinguished from antiquarian, - the same materials, and the same figure. It seems, that there is a fascinating story behind each thing: the bronze head of the elephant or a lion excites with echoes of the colonial past; tips of arrows and the cracked horn is, certainly, the hunting trophies; and the steel core fastened in sea unit, is a tribute to traditions of navigation. The color scale is under construction on a combination of gold with black or mahogany. Even in a modern collection of eaves Phonetic Alphabet from EDWARD HARLEY, alongside with tips in the form of a transparent ball for golf, the stylized figure of the door-keeper or the handle of a sword (”Romeo”), expected gold ornaments are presented: laurel wreath, a plume from feathers, an original carved ornament (”India”). However, “archaic” eaves can be used only in a corresponding context that is in traditional “English” interiors, exacting to quality of the smallest details and their careful selection. If to speak about modern trends transparent bars for the curtains, made of acryl, are worth of especial attention. It seems that the fabric fixed on them is simply groundless. There is also a set of metal-plastic eaves, in which bearing metal core is hidden under or behind an elegant plastic environment.
According to historically developed traditions, curtains are subdivided to following attributes: geographical or national (Austrian, Italian, London, Roman, French, and Japanese); and technological (rolled, crossed, curtains-screens, curtains with pelmets). At last, types of curtains can have names behind which associative images (for example, curtains in style “cafe”) are hidden. This variety of kinds dictates both features of a cut of a fabric, and ways of its fastening at a window.
The choice of an eaves and way of fastening is dictated not only by aesthetic reasons, but also by design features of a premise. So, if partitions are executed from gypsum cardboard, they any more will not sustain a bar under a heavy portiere. It is necessary either to choose the facilitated variant with string eaves, or to fix eaves on a ceiling.
It is necessary to study more closely a design of the eaves. At identical, at first sight, mechanisms from different manufacturers some significant distinctions occur. Let????????s take, for example, such insignificant detail, as metal rings on which the curtain moves on a bar. At one manufacturer they are made homogeneous, at others - an internal surface of the ring adjoining a bar has a teflon covering. As a result, the curtain moves along a window more freely and absolutely silently. This nuance, certainly, raises the price of a product, but for nurseries and bedrooms the disposal from such active noise irritator is very desirable, if it is not necessary.
