18th Century Hand Forged Iron Cooking Trivet

About the Item

Hand-forged in the 1700s, this iron cooking trivet is sometimes referred to as a fire stand. The circular stand has three lightly scrolled stays that are designed to support the weight of a hot cooking vessel. Both of the front spindles transition downwards to form small, scrolled feet, while the back one continues behind the circle, forming a handle with a small knob and a thick leg beneath. The dark black finish has commensurate buildup, which have given some areas a brown hue, adding to the charm of this antique cooking implement. Our 18th-century forged iron cooking trivet would be the perfect addition to any kitchen and would make a functional piece of serveware with rustic appeal.

Pair of Hand Forged 18th Century Spanish Iron Torchere Candle Holders
Located in Dallas, TX
Full of charm and character, this pair of iron torchere candle holders were hand-forged in Spain during the 1700s. The visible strike marks made by the blacksmith, along with the flattened pin that affixes the highly scrolled arms add subtle nuances to the 21-inch tall candlesticks. At the end of each arm is a torch-like light sconce with a banded noix at the bottom, topped by a flat bobeche with a thin rim and a folded cylindrical capital. Rising a few inches above is a third light source with an identical bobeche and capital that extends from the central column. The three-light spread is supported by tripod bases featuring sinuous legs that have been embellished by roundels set within thin fluting. Our pair of Spanish torchere...
