Had I placed it any lower the rail clips would have interfered with the valence, and at this point I actually caught the header board over the window. I think this looks very clean in the natural lighting setting of the room. I also left 1-2\u2019 extra cable looped at the hanging hooks in case this piece ever gets moved to a larger window. I knew this approach would work well, having used a much larger floor-to-ceiling Arakawa cable rig for a larger historic stained glass piece in a private collectors home some years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to Arakawa and Museum Trade for this opportunity to share great products and methods of display to keep the rainbow glowing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>From Matt at MuseumTrade<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Hi Sean, thank you for sharing your experience with the Arakawa rail system.
