Jackie Von Tobel for Helser Brothers, Inc.

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. 

French Knot finial

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. 

Shield scarf holder ~ available with or without tassel

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.

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.
