    Some types of coach luggage racks (Pullman car type for instance) are formed of interlaced metal wiggly wire to form the mesh. May be brass wire or the wire is treated to look like brass.

    Does any person know of a supplier of this type of wire? Many thanks.

    Might be worthwhile looking for companies that make grilles for window protection - they often use this sort of woven mesh. Or an engineering material suppliers?
