Curtain Holdbacks Are Not Just For Holding Back!

Did you know holdbacks aren’t just for holding back?
Traditionally, a drapery or curtain holdback is used to sweep panels away from the window. But step outside the box—holdbacks can create an entire window treatment on their own.

By using drapery medallions to mount fabric, you instantly add character and dimension to your room in a way a standard drapery rod simply can’t. They transform your windows into a true design feature that makes a statement.

At Metropolis Iron, we offer the largest variety of drapery medallions available from a single supplier. Choose from a sleek, simple button style (like the one pictured) to ornate, intricate designs. With sizes ranging from small to extra-large, there’s a perfect option for every space and every vision.

Don’t be afraid to take your curtain holdbacks to a new level—they’re not just functional, they’re a design opportunity.
