Look at the detail on this fantastic, unusually large, old metal radiator or vent cover. Made of solid metal, this grate has developed a lovely patina. The metal is in good condition, and there's not much of the black paint remaining. This piece has a pleasing symmetrical design, with the stylized scroll and naturalistic vines evocative of the Art Nouveau period. This vent grate is probably order from the 1890 to 1910 period. Imagine this as a bathroom medicine cabinet door, or imagine this with a candle lit behind - wow! Make a shadow box and use this as a spooky Halloween prop. Or just mount this on a white wall and admire the texture and contrasting details! It measures 12 5/8" high, about 15" wide, and 2 1/2" deep. It weighs a hefty 11 1/2 pounds. One of the louvers on the back is missing, but the other three louvers on the back are original and the louvers open and close easily and smoothly.
