Flat Wire, Fine Mesh, in a Softened Brass Tone

This Kent Design RE25 panel is a decorative metal grille for cabinet door frames, furniture openings, and architectural inserts where a tight, refined mesh is wanted in a warm but restrained finish.

Key Features

• Flat wire construction gives each wire a wide, ribbon-like face that holds finish differently than round or square wire does.
• 3/16 inch by 3/16 inch mesh, one of the finer openings in the RE25 range, producing a dense, detailed pattern.
• 36 by 48 inch stock sheet, a broad format suited to wider or taller door openings.
• Light Antique Brass finish, a brass-toned patina that reads warmer than antique silver and softer than bright or satin brass.
• RE25 series pattern identifier.

What the Pattern Does

At 3/16 inch by 3/16 inch, this is a notably fine mesh. The openings are small enough that the panel reads more as a textured surface than as an open grid, especially at a distance. That quality suits applications where some visual separation is wanted between the inside of a cabinet and the room, without fully concealing the contents. The pattern is even in both directions, so there is no preferred orientation and the sheet can be positioned however the opening calls for.

Flat wire amplifies the effect. Where a round wire would catch a narrow line of highlight along its crown, a flat wire presents a broader face to the light, so the reflective surface at each wire is wider and the overall panel has a more fabric-like sheen than a wire-over-wire look.

Finish Character

Light Antique Brass occupies a particular place in the brass finish range. It is warmer than antique silver or antique nickel, but less saturated than a bright brass or a satin brass. The antiquing sits in the recesses of the pattern while the flats of the wire retain more of the lighter base tone, creating a finish that has depth without being heavily darkened. In combination with flat wire, the result is a panel that catches light across its face rather than at single points.

Where It Works

This panel is well matched to furniture pieces and built-in cabinetry where a warm metal accent is part of the design language. The fine mesh and the restrained antiqued tone suit traditional, transitional, and French-country interiors where a bold or industrial grid would read out of place. The 36 by 48 inch sheet is practical for door panels in a range of proportions, from portrait-format single doors to wider pairs when cut from a single sheet.
