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?

You could use little brass hooks ...

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...

you're local plumbers. Spray the copper pipe with hammerite white spray paint.
yes we got them from the local curtain shop , they have 4 bends in them. the shop measured up and had them made. work perfect . the downside of this is they where expensive. rob
Yup! I got quoted £65 for mine, so made my own at £10, far cheaper than the average curtain poles even.
et some straight ones and bend em.
Jim Lawrence will make em up for you I am sure..
