Early 19th C. Double Heart Trivet
This is an extremely finely made Southeastern Pennsylvania trivet in the form of a slender heart. The crested handle terminates in a delicately worked second heart. This trivet was clearly made and finished by a whitesmith. Although Don Plummer’s book on the Sorber Collection includes no comparable form, p. 223 of Antique Iron shows a Pennsylvania trivet with a similar handle terminal. That piece is in the National Gallery of Art. 11½” x 4¼”.
