French Antique Silverplated Wheeled/Expandable Trivet – Tableware

A elegantly designed, heavily silverplated, expandable serving dish trivet. It has four wheels that work very well,  making it easier to pass dishes on a table.

The trivet has a Neo-classical designed trim around the edge and an open-work pattern around a shield in the center.

The trivet measures 9 ¼ inches in diameter when closed and is expandable to 13 ¾ inches when open.

It very likely was produced for high-end catalogues since it does not have markings on it but is similar to trivets included in them in their 1930’s editions.  It is in very good condition, easily slides open and the four wheels are firmly incorporated and work well.

Aside from being very useful, it is also an interesting conversation piece since they are getting rare to find.
