Distinguishing Characteristics - Most Interesting About The Piece: This is a nice and rather interesting antique trivet that looks great. It would be a great addition to any collection. 

Condition: The trivet is in very good condition. It is all original and complete. It has no breaks, no losses, and no repairs. The trivet is soiled with embedded dirt in its crevasses and shows minor signs of oxidation. It would benefit from a good cleaning, but we leave that to the discretion of the new owner. It is solid, intact, and sturdy. It does have minor casting error throughout, which can be seen in the photos. Be that as it may, this is a nice all original piece to add to your collection.
