FAQs

Gilt brass curtain tie-backs are decorative architectural fittings produced during the 19th century to hold heavy window drapes away from the glass, maximising natural light while framing the window.

During the 19th century, drapery holdbacks were predominantly cast from brass or bronze, often finished with gilding or protective lacquers to prevent oxidation and create a metallic sheen.

Authentic period pieces typically display hand-chased foliage details, cast metal construction, threaded or riveted mounting plates, and natural surface patination within the recessed areas.

Interior designers install these decorative brass fittings alongside tailored velvet or linen curtains to introduce historical architectural texture and metalwork into modern spaces.

Preserve the finish by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth; avoid abrasive metal polishes or chemical cleansers that can strip historic gilding or original lacquers.
