Pair of Antique Cast Iron Grates with Gothic Cross Motif – 23 ½ x 24

Description :
These salvaged cast iron grates feature a symmetrical Gothic design centered around a cross enclosed in a circular medallion, framed by quatrefoil and scroll patterns. Measuring 23 ½" H x 24" W each, the pair likely originated from an architectural or ecclesiastical building—possibly as floor or wall grates, decorative transom inserts, or vent covers. The rusted patina adds authentic character, making them ideal for repurposing as wall art, gate panels, or custom furniture inserts. One grate has minor surface erosion in the corner, consistent with age and use, but both remain structurally intact.
