vintage bow towel bar

 This vintage French brass towel or curtain bar features two beautifully cast ribbon bow mounts. The bows are detailed with curling, dimensional loops and crossed quiver-like accents behind each knot—subtle nods to the neoclassical style that feel both romantic and architectural.

The bar itself is straight and simple, with a soft golden patina throughout. Whether used in a bathroom, kitchen, or even as a decorative rail in a closet or dressing room, it brings both charm and function to the space.

The bow motif has roots in 18th-century French decorative arts and remained a popular detail well into the 20th century—especially in vintage brass hardware that paired traditional elegance with everyday practicality. This type of piece was especially popular in city apartments and classic interiors throughout France.
