Grille Cloth, or Berber Carpet?

Daily Photo

As you can see below, the choice of grille cloths for our Heritage series was once quite diverse, not to mention sometimes unusual.  I can only guess they were designed to match popular carpet patterns of the era.

Although we no longer offer special order grille cloth, you can get one of our current Heritage models in just about any wood veneer on the market.  This is one of my favorites.

Hey Amy

One idea I would suggest is when you do make any of the current Heritage with exotic woods maybe you could obtain some photos to show on the forum.

I've seen some Heresies that were whittled out in Sapelle.

I have some Cornwalls and Heresies with natural cane. The 63 CW's actually have the old hexagonal 'seat cane' grille material- very old school.

I heard once that there were about 100 different combinations of veneer/grille cloths. Will have to do the calculation sometime. This sample board does not have the new standard #17. I wonder if there was ever a #3? Hunter?
