Antique Georgian Brass Trivet

Fine Georgian Brass Trivet Stand 
A handsome and well-proportioned Georgian brass trivet, dating from the early 19th century. 
The square top is attractively pierced with a radiating foliate design and scrolled corner motifs, bordered by a scalloped edge with repeating cutwork details. 
Raised on a turned and stepped column with a domed foot, the piece shows clear signs of age and use, including surface wear and tarnishing consistent with its period. 

Dimensions: 25 cm high x 20 cm square 

Material: Brass 

Condition: Good, original condition throughout. 
Marks, tarnish and wear in keeping with age and use. 
The underside shows oxidisation and old patination. 
A characterful and practical piece, once used to support a kettle or pan near the hearth, now decorative in its own right or useful for display.
