My internet searching has lead me to multiple British companies (seems to be all the rage over there) but the only one I’ve found in the US so far is the Governale Victoria (which seems to be steam – I need hot water). There are some salvage firm sites here but their websites are as up to date as their stock, and user-unfriendly to boot.
I’m looking for a somewhat ornate style – Edwardian or Victorian.

For about half the price of a repro you could pick up an old salvage rad and have it media blasted and powder coated. It would look new but be authentic. There is a salvage in the parking lot place behind Lowes in Brooklyn that has tons of radiators. I picked up a 4 steam radiators from him recently and was actually disappointed as the nicer more ornate ones were all hot water.

You can also get very good salvaged radiators from Cesar at Kevin & Richard Plumbing supply. They are now located at 525 Park Ave. (Brooklyn). I got some very ornate upright ones with embossed roses and vines.
