Arts and Crafts – Brass Trivet with Pierced Floral Decoration (c.1900)
£280
A brass trivet, Arts and Crafts movement, c.1900. Rectangular pierced top with floral design and shaped legs, typical of English domestic metalwork.
This brass trivet, produced during the Arts and Crafts movement c.1900, reflects the period’s emphasis on handcrafted utility and ornament drawn from natural forms. The rectangular top is pierced with a stylised floral motif, each curve defined by fine chiselling and openwork detailing. The shaped legs taper gently to pad feet, giving the piece a balanced and rhythmic outline.
Designed for functional use beside the hearth or as a stand for domestic vessels, such trivets illustrate the movement’s belief that craftsmanship should extend to even the simplest household objects.
