Vintage Solid Brass Expandable Trivet Accordion Casserole Hot Dish Pot Stand For Sale

Vintage solid-brass expandable trivet with a smoothly operating accordion-style lattice and raised supports for casserole dishes, serving pieces, pots, and other hot cookware.
The adjustable framework opens to accommodate dishes of different sizes and collapses neatly for storage. Raised brass knobs support the dish while the extended feet elevate the framework above the table. The expanding mechanism moves smoothly and cleanly without sticking or binding.
Expandable trivets became useful dining and serving accessories because one compact piece could accommodate everything from a small saucepan to a large family-size casserole. This substantial solid-brass example combines that practical function with the warm aged character sought for traditional, cottage, farmhouse, and collected kitchens.
The riveted construction and design are consistent with a vintage mid-20th-century serving accessory. No maker’s mark was found, so the exact manufacturer, country of origin, and production date remain unknown.The casserole dish shown demonstrates the trivet’s intended use and is not included. Please review all photographs as part of the description.
