We are delighted to be able to offer for sale a great number of antique, vintage, and collectible trivets originating from several great collections that we are helping our consigners sell.

Nothing compares to the feel or look of early and well done cast iron, and perhaps no one single item better symbolizes traditional Early American cast iron antiques than the trivet. 

With an almost intoxicating array of designs and styles to be had this category of collecting can be a collector's and decorator's paradise.  Whether you collect trivets in and of themselves, or to accompany your antique pressing iron collection, you'll find a variety of interesting antique trivets listed below,  ranging from very early hand-forged blacksmith-made examples to intricately designed cast iron trivets produced in foundries for the leading iron makers, to fine twisted wire and brass examples.

We still have a few more boxes full to go, so keep checking back for more. 

Most of the trivets listed below are in very nice condition and are ready for display.  Some just need a dusting.  A few need a light cleaning and waxing.  I  usually do this on a soft wire wheel or by hand with steel wool, and then either wax or lightly oil them to retard any oxidation processes.  Heavier rust removal it is a longer process, first by scraping, then either electrolysis or a coarser wire wheel and a final coat of wax or oil, but none of the above examples require this and most are ready for display.
