Description

A Bead Curtain Unlike Any You Have Seen Before

Elevate your space with a rare masterpiece of patience and precision — introducing the pixel glass bead curtain. While mass-produced bead curtains come with fewer strands and wide gaps, this luxury artisan piece stacks 130 individual strands closely together. By meticulously hand stringing 37,700 black and white beads, the arrangement reveals a breathtaking peacock motif that astounds the viewer. It truly earns its name by functioning as a real bead curtain that provides genuine privacy. Perfect for room doors or as elegant living room partitions, it is the ideal choice for anyone seeking the clean elegance of minimalist black and white colour tones.

This work is deeply inspired by the timeless elegance of last-century Chinese glass bead curtains. These are true heirloom pieces designed to be passed down through generations. When you purchase this ready-to-ship bead curtain, you are actively helping to revive a historical craft.

Materials & Craftsmanship:

  • Beads: Precisely 37,700 high-quality 6mm glass beads in classic white and black colours.
  • Strands: 130 individual strands, each featuring 290 beads.
  • Stringing: Strung securely using durable, high-quality nylon fishing line.

Hassle-Free Installation:

Each strand is safely secured to a sturdy 1-inch diameter wooden dowel, which keeps the intricate peacock picture perfectly aligned. To ensure a perfect fit into standard curtain brackets, the beadwork is centered on the 90cm dowel, leaving an extra 4cm of clear space on both the left and right sides. This intentional gap protects the outer strands from friction while allowing smooth passage—ensuring the curtain moves easily with you and falls right back into its beautiful formation. The standard 1-inch dowel size ensures a very hassle-free installation into any common steel curtain brackets.

Specifications:

  • Bead Curtain Measurements: 82 x 162 cm (32.2 x 63.7 inches / 2.6 x 5.3 ft)
  • Length of Wooden Dowel: 90cm (35.4 inches/3ft)
  • Total Weight: Approx. 11kg
  • Door Frame Measurements (For Reference): 90 x 205 cm (35.4 x 80.7 inches / 3 x 6.7 ft)

Care Instructions

CLEANING

  • ​Regular Dusting: Dust the bead curtain every alternate day, or at least once a week.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the pixel bead curtain available in different colors and designs?
Currently, the bead curtains are crafted exclusively in classic black and white glass beads. As an artist, I am always expermineting with new designs, materials, and colors. While more options will be available in the future, I cannot say for certain when as each piece requires meticulous craftsmanship. I highly encourage purchasing the current design while it is in stock.
Where can this bead curtain be hung?
It is designed to fit a standard doorway of 3ft x 7ft. Apart from room doors, it can be used on passageways, as living room partitions, in pooja rooms, or even outside on porches!
How much does the bead curtain weigh?
The curtain itself weighs approximately 11kg because it is crafted entirely from glass beads in the style of traditional Chinese bead curtains. To ensure it reaches you safely, the total shipping weight (including protective packaging) maybe between 12–13kg.
Can standard curtain brackets hold the weight?
Yes. I recommend using standard steel brackets designed for a 1-inch dowel. Despite the weight, the installation is straightforward and hassle-free.
Can I walk through the bead curtain? Will it alter the strands and disturb the visual appearance?
The bead curtain is designed for both utility and beauty. You can easily walk through—even while carrying large items—without worry. The strands are tightly secured to the wooden dowel to ensure they remain perfectly aligned and the design is always clear.
What is the expected lifespan of the bead curtain?
This is an heirloom-quality product designed to last over 100 years because of the durable nature of glass and wood components used to make it. It is primarily built for indoor use, and if used outdoors or on a porch, weather exposure may affect its longevity.
Why is the bead curtain expensive?
This is an artisan product not found in the domestic market. Unlike mass-produced bead curtains, this piece features 37,700 glass beads that are hand strung, reviving a "lost art" of slow, intentional craft. When compared to international markets, this piece is priced very fairly for the level of detail, time (110 hours of dedication), and labour involved.
What is the recommended maintenance routine for the Peacock pixel bead curtain?
​Regular Dusting: Dust the bead curtain every alternate day, or at least once a week. ​Deep Cleaning: To remove grease and stubborn dirt, wrap a damp, soft cloth around the bead strands between your palms and wipe it. ​What to Avoid: Do not submerge the curtain in water and soap solutions, as this may damage the wooden dowel. ​Best Practice: Always clean the curtain while it is hanging.
