Domini Lucas Nov 19, 2022:
portiere just a quick note to say that portiere is more specific than "door curtains" because a portiere rod is usually on a hinge so it opens with the door https://www.curtainpole.co.uk/portiere-rods/. As opposed to a door curtain which can be general e.g. a curtain hung in front of a door on a normal curtain pole and just drawn back to allow the door to open. Not meaning to split hairs. Mentioning it in case it affects the term chosen.

set of four rails and door curtains

I assume "portiers" is the French "portières", which means door curtains.

Acredito que há um erro gráfico: "portiers" em lugar de "portieres".
