Vintage Steel Chimney Cap – 20" x 20" x 8¼"

Description :
This vintage chimney cap is crafted from formed steel with a crimped mesh surround and a steep-angled top, designed to prevent debris and animals from entering a chimney flue while allowing smoke to escape efficiently. The steel top has developed surface rust along the edges, suggesting long-term exterior exposure, which adds to its industrial patina. The crimped mesh offers added protection and airflow. Measuring 20" x 20" x 8¼", this piece is suitable for medium-sized chimneys and may be repurposed for architectural or garden decor.
