A remarkable trio of original cast-iron registers, all bearing the patent date August 6th, 1900. Two are heating grates with working damper handles, and the third is a matching cold-air return — together forming a beautifully cohesive set that once warmed and breathed air through a century-old home.
Each piece features intricate geometric design work and a rich, time-softened patina that speaks to its long history. Gently cleaned and waxed to reveal the depth of the iron and preserve the authentic aged finish.
