On each rod is marked 1610. What does that signify? Thanks!

It's probably an internal serial or production number.

I don't think they had curtain rods in the year 1610. ;D

They look almost Art-Deco or Art-Nouveau to me. . .

Now I would call the ones posted by ewarnick to be "swing arm drapery rods".
