Replacement radiator

I have a house that was built in the 20s and has recirculating hot water radiators throughout the house. When I rebuilt my bathroom, I removed the radiator.
Now that the bathroom is done, I want to put a radiator back, but not the old one

I would like to put something a little more modern, that might look and function as a towel warmer

The is against an exterior wall, just below a window, and can be roughly 22 inches tall, and 24 inches wide

does anybody have a recommendation of where to get one?

    There are a lot of flat panel radiators available, you just have to start shopping for one.

    Supplyhouse advertises here, and many pros get their stuff from them:

    Just search on "towel radiator." Your envelope is pretty small though, so you might not find one small enough. If you can sweat copper pipe joints, you could try making one yourself from 3/4" copper elbows, tees, and short straight pieces of 3/4" copper pipe.

    After cleaning the flux and oils off the assembled radiator, you can spray paint it whatever color you like.

    Here's a guy who did something similar with 1/2" copper and a tubing bender:

    Runtal makes towel warmers and maybe Castrads.
