35"x48" Antique Vintage Old Reclaimed Salvaged Cast Iron Metal Gate Fence Panel Grille Industrial Factory
WOW, what a rare find! Cool, distressed, cast iron panel salvaged from Northeastern, PA. It is made of solid, heavy, thick, cast iron and weighs 150 - 200 lbs.
Although the panel looks like a group of 34 rectangular strips (fins or blades) held together by 2 round bars; each "bar" is actually 33 short, tubular pieces held together by a nut on each end. The tubes are actually separators or dividers between the strips. If you notice, the tubes look staggered and don't line up perfectly with one another. That's because they need to be tightened. The whole panel flexes or bends just a little when picked up, and that's because the 4 nuts need tightening.
The panel was originally painted a black color, and much of the paint remains. However, there are also many rusty spots. What really makes this extra cool is the pitted or "hammered" surface, which occurred naturally after years of exposure to the elements. Please keep in mind, that this only surface-level corrosion; just cosmetic. Aside from the flexing, this panel is strong, sturdy, and show no signs of weakness. It's in great shape with no breaks, cracks, or rot.
One of the strips on one end has slightly bent ends (see last 2 photos). These could be straightened by pulling and/or banging with a hammer.
Aside from whatever purpose it originally served, it would make for a great table top, cut up and used as drawer fronts or doors for a customized dresser or cabinet, industrial art, movie, theater props, etc.
