Curtain Tiebacks
                       & Towel Holders!!
    Welcome to our Web Store featuring antique glass "pins" or curtain tiebacks, as shown in the May, 2003 issue of Romantic Homes Magazine article "Curtain Call" beginning on page 10. Several of them are also pictured (as noted below) in the June, 2005 issue of Country Living Magazine article "Window Dressing" beginning on page 38.
    The original flint glass issues from the mid 1800s were copied around the turn of the 20th century and those are called "early reproductions". Tiebacks are being currently reproduced & these we are calling "late reproductions".
    Some of the early tiebacks we offer for sale still have the original metal and some do not. We are able to supply metal for some of those which are shown without metal for an additional $16 each ($30 for a pair).
    While the primary original use for these beautiful and unique Victorian decorative objects of "home jewelry" was to hold back curtains, the scarcity of pairs of matching sets led us to adapt them to another use - towel holders!
    To learn more about curtain tiebacks, go HERE.

    As shown at Right, they are great for showing off hand towels in the kitchen as well as guest towels in the vanity. Hang your daughter's ribbons on one; the possibilities for their use are only limited by your imagination.
    So browse our selections & click HERE to email us with any questions or orders to purchase.

   #30  This is an early flint curtain tieback that is different in that the metal pin behind it screws into the glass but does not go through it. So the front flower is complete.

Here's a rare 150 year old single flint tieback similar to the opalescent
one above but in "canary"; what we now call vaseline.
It screams yellow-green under a black light, is 3 1/2"  diameter, has no damage and a post that screws directly into the glass in the back. It would show off a delicate curtain or hand towel beautifully! #O40    $175

or $30 for a pair.
They can only be purchased with the glass tiebacks & not separately.
