An adjustable bowed shower rod and bracket that is simple, strong, and attractive having an elliptical cross section; a semi-capsular wall bracket with a semi-cylindrical middle section and a cutout in the middle section having a height between one quarter and one half the height of the bracket; and a swivel having a cylindrical vertical member longer than the height of the bracket cutout of a diameter selected to fit completely within the bracket middle section and an elliptical horizontal member secured perpendicularly to the vertical member on a first end and sized to receive the rod in an overlapping fit on a second end. The swivel vertical member can be assembled into the bracket with the swivel horizontal member protruding through the bracket cutout, and the elliptical rod can come into communication with the swivel horizontal member, thereby assembling the shower rod and bracket apparatus.
