A distinctive vintage brass fox trivet combining practical tableware with the character of traditional English country decor. The detailed fox head is surrounded by an ornate openwork border, giving this compact piece an especially decorative presence.
Cast in solid brass, the central fox is modeled in raised relief with pointed ears, expressive eyes and hand-finished incised detailing. The scrolling openwork frame creates an elaborate silhouette, while three raised feet on the reverse elevate the trivet from the surface beneath.
The warm aged finish and areas of darker patina enhance the sculptural details and give the brass the character expected of a genuine vintage piece. Use it beneath a teapot, serving dish or other hot vessel, or display it as part of a collection of vintage brass, fox-themed objects or English country kitchenware.
A wonderfully unusual functional object with plenty of character for a collected kitchen or tabletop.
