Description

Pair of George III Pierced Brass Footman Trivets 
A handsome pair of English George III period brass footmen, c. 1800. 
Matching in size and likely from the same workshop, the two pieces have been together a long time—possibly since their original use—though they differ slightly in detailing, with one fitted with side handles and a scalloped edge. 
Each footman is raised on wrought iron legs, with pierced brass tops of elegant floral design and ventilated sides. 
One features a decorative rolled edge, the other a plain border, both with cabriole-style front legs and flat iron stretchers to the rear. 

Dimensions: 33 cm wide x 33 cm deep x 34 cm high 

Condition: In good antique condition with signs of use consistent with age. 
The brass has been cleaned and polished to a bright finish. 
Structurally sound. 
A fine decorative and practical pair of Georgian hearth accessories, ideal beside a fireplace or used as stands in a traditional interior.
