Couldn't load pickup availability
A striking and sculptural example of late 17th-century English hearth ware, this ornate wrought iron trivet showcases the craftsmanship and decorative sensibility of the period. Forged by hand, the trivet features a bold scrollwork design with pierced and curled elements, likely intended for both functional and aesthetic use beside the hearth.
Its substantial length of 52 cm (20.5 inches) suggests it was designed to support larger vessels or kettles, while the elevated form and shaped feet provide stability and ventilation. The ironwork retains a rich, timeworn patina, with surface textures that speak to centuries of use and atmospheric exposure.
This piece exemplifies the intersection of utility and ornament in early domestic metalwork, making it a fine addition to any collection of antique kitchenalia, fireplace accessories, or English vernacular furnishings.

Condition - Please refer to the images. This is an impressive piece of early metalware.
