Greek Key finial
It’s finally here! The Jackie Von Tobel for Helser Brothers, Inc drapery hardware collection. After many months of development the line is ready for its closeup. The entire collection is in stock and immediately available at the "made in the USA", Helser Brothers, Inc. plant in Phoenix Arizona. When I first began talking with the fabulous Helser Brothers about a collaboration it became clear to me that this was a fantastic opportunity to create a fresh new line that would address the versatility required for todays window treatment designs. It was a chance to think out of the box and design hardware that would be able to be used in many different configurations rather than having each piece be pigeon holed for one use.
Helser Brothers gave me carte blanche to design new, interchangeable elements that can be used in a multitude of applications just by changing the bracket to fit your needs. Finials can be used as tie backs or swag holders. Tab holders can be used as rod brackets and some can be connected together to build cornices. Individual, free hanging, “tassles” can be integrated into the window treatments designs themselves as trim or can be ordered attached to rings for a fun embellishment to your design.
Javelon finial with rod
My goal for the collection was to create simple transitional designs that would work just as well in a modern setting as in a traditional one. Each piece in the collection was inspired by classic motifs and familiar shapes with clean lines and sharp angles that give each design a rich simplicity. Each design looks dramatically different depending on the finish you choose.
Arrowhead, Trophy finials shown in liquid silver finish
Crafted from cast zinc, this hardware is lighter than typical iron products and has a sleek smooth finish that looks great in metallics as well as Helser’s beautiful hand painted finishes. The new “liquid silver” finish is a favorite of mine.

Jackie, your hardware line is GORGEOUS -- I can't wait to get my catalog and finish samples. I knew your designs would be beautiful, but the interchangeability of components and add-on tassel pieces are like the chocolate ganache frosting on a Devil's food cake. I'm in love! Congratulations!
Jackie, I love your new decorative hardware line for Helser Bros! I like the fact that your designs are so architectural in style AND versatile in function.
Good luck!
I just saw this gorgeous collection of hardware. The lines are incredible - sometimes classical, sometimes scrolling, always lovely...and oooooo the finishes. JVT, you are a rockstar!
