Curtain tracks
 

Are there any curtain track systems which aren't made of plastic and
which can go round bay windows? How did the Victorians manage it?

Are there any which would work with curtains which don't have those
little plastic hooks in them?

Brass I prisms.
Bent 'em.
(or at least that's what we did in the 1950s & 60s!)

You could use little brass hooks ...

What's wrng with plastic and how/why do you want it to be different?

The Victorians used brass curtain poles,same as we use today with the ring
and eyelet hence why they where brought into fashion.
What sort of hook they used to hang the curtains I dunno?

I used wooden poles and rings, with four brackets, and
four curtains.

We want curtain poles, rather than those tracks which go behind the
curtains. Tricky to find going-round-corner curtain poles...

In that case...copper pipe bent to meet the corners and held in position at
three stages "end middle end" you can get the fixings here...

Or you're local plumbers. Spray the copper pipe with hammerite white spray
paint.

Yup! I got quoted £65 for mine, so made my own at £10, far cheaper than the
average curtain poles even.
