Now, this is a powerhouse curtain holdback. NOT for the faint of heart. This makes a HUGE statement!!  Got this in the bronze, to match other hardware, for the living room. It works wonderfully. (I was shocked at how large it is.) Worked even better when we put quality tie backs with it. That being said, it's way too bold, large, to use in a regular kitchen, FYI. in my opinion. It really is much bigger than it appears in the photograph, I think.
