Behind every pair of beautiful curtains there is a simple, steady, reliable workhorse putting in the hours for the sake of decoration and privacy. An ever present underground movement, hardly seen but without its dedication and commitment to the cause, our lives would be very different. Enter stage left The Curtain Pole!
Choosing to remain a worker behind the scenes, the curtain pole has had to come out of the closet in recent years. In this paparazzi era, curtain poles have been forced to not only glamourize but also openly display their wares.
In days gone by curtain poles could only be found down the back alleys of large DIY stores but with their new found fame and stardom, retailers are realising that curtain poles deserve their own corner of the market and specialist curtain pole dealers are springing up everywhere.
When wooden curtain poles roamed the earth (I believe there are still some cave paintings of them in existence), nobody could have envisioned the success of metal curtain poles. They have announced themselves on the world in showbiz style. All that is missing is the top hat and tap shoes!
They say all that glitters isn't gold, but you would be hard pressed to find fault with the role of the faithful curtain pole. In this modern designer world, curtain poles and tracks have been liberated, daring and bold, no longer satisfied with a back seat, no longer satisfied with a bit part, no longer waiting for a curtain call but stepping out into the limelight and taking centre stage, seizing their window of opportunity.
We salute you oh mighty curtain pole! You hold together and support the very fabric of our society, bringing us light and confidence. Ever silent yet unmoveable, spanning the vast chasms of darkness and our key to the world beyond. This is your time, a time for you to sparkle and enlighten. A time for mankind to sit up and take notice and to realise that without you our material would be just an untidy heap, a mess of silken pattern crumpled and broken, an area utterly "un-vacuum- able" and full of despair.
A new dawn has arrived! Curtain poles are here to improve our lives, to revolutionise our homes. They are here so that colour and luxury may prosper and that privacy might be granted to each and every one of us. All Hail the Curtain Pole!
