Hello! It is actually polished nickel; the mesh behind the overall grille is a bit deceptive bc is appears brushed due to the tighter nature of the weave; however it is shiny.

The entire kitchen is divine. I love these grilles as well - were they custom-made? I'd love to mimic them in my kitchen with a small quatrefoil icon. Thanks!

Hello...thank you so much! That is so nice of you..No these grilles are not custom-made but I'm sure you could have something in a quatrefoil icon made-that would be lovely!!

I love the grille as well! Very unique. Where can it be purchased?
