The Brass Ventilation Grille
The Brass Ventilation Grille
In Stock
A traditional Victorian gadget, this little brass grille allows air to flow through your pantry doors or backboards, keeping food and dry goods fresh and cool. We looked at lots of old French designs and came up with a very simple round vent which really does work, but the best thing is, it looks so pretty and transforms the inside or outside of your new or old pantry cupboard.
You can use the single-sided grille for the backboards of a cupboard and the double-sided grille for the doors. There is brass mesh behind each vent to stop flies and bugs from getting through the patterned cutouts.
The vents are made in our Heirloom Brass finish so they match with all our other hardware, however, they are such a unique item we think they would work with any material choices and love the idea of adding them to an existing or vintage piece just to give it a little understated shine. It's these little additions to a room that really make a difference, we love beautifully made traditional and practical things that make you smile and work the old-fashioned way.
We recommend that you order your cupboard fittings all together in one batch to ensure they are finished at the same time. Large orders may take longer than stated lead times.

Heirloom Brass
Our Heirloom Brass finish has a smooth polished surface with a traditional warm aged brass colour. The tone will age and develop a rich patina over time and with use.
Each grille plate is sealed with a thin breathable layer of wax to help protect the finish.
Care & Maintenance
Clean with mild soapy water and a soft towel. Harsh cleaners with bleach and scouring pads will scratch and damage the finish.
Sustainability
Almost all of our packaging is fully recyclable and our designers are constantly working with suppliers to make improvements in this area.
