Coastal Charm Meets Classic Craftsmanship: The Irish Flat Shell Drapery Medallions

When it comes to creating a serene, ocean-inspired living space, it’s often the small details that make the biggest impact. One of the most striking examples of this principle is the Irish Flat Shell Drapery Medallion, a piece that brings coastal elegance and timeless craftsmanship together in perfect harmony.

A Coastal Statement Piece

Handcrafted from solid iron and finished in soft tones that mimic natural seashells, the Irish Flat Shell Medallion captures the beauty of seaside living without overwhelming the space. Its gently curved shape and scalloped edges echo the rhythm of ocean waves, while the subtle shimmer of its finish reflects light beautifully—adding depth and texture to any room.

A Fresh Take on Hanging Drapery

In this beach-view living room, traditional curtain rods were replaced with Irish Flat Shell Medallions. The medallions anchor sheer, ivory curtain panels that allow natural light to filter through softly, creating a bright, breezy atmosphere. The drapery panels sweep gracefully behind the matching shell holdbacks, framing the window like a work of art.

This innovative installation technique showcases the versatility of Metropolis Iron’s exclusive two-part medallion design—offering strength, ease of installation, and a refined aesthetic that traditional hardware simply can’t match.

Where Function Meets Art

Beyond their decorative appeal, the Irish Flat Shell Medallions are built to last. Each piece is made from solid iron for durability and finished by hand to ensure a one-of-a-kind look. Whether used to hang, swag, or hold back fabric, these medallions add a distinctive coastal touch that complements both contemporary and traditional interiors.

Perfect for Any Room with a View

From oceanfront cottages to sun-filled coastal retreats, these medallions instantly elevate a space. Their organic form and warm shell tone blend effortlessly with soft aqua walls, woven furniture, and sea-glass accessories—creating a cohesive look that’s as calming as it is beautiful.

Transform your windows into seaside statements with the Irish Flat Shell Drapery Medallions from Metropolis Iron—where coastal charm meets handcrafted excellence.
