Product: Iron Age Designs Interlaken

Noah Kalina

Based on classical designs dating from the Victorian era, Interlaken is one of many architectural casting patterns offered by Seattle-based Iron Age Designs. The company can apply a patina to give its bronze grates and lids an aged look. It also offers eco-friendly finishes such as raw-as-cast and baked-on-oil, the latter of which uses reclaimed french-fry oil that gives pre-oxidized, cast-iron products a chocolate color. • ironagegrates.com
