The piece features a twin broom motif with stylized broomsticks, leafy details, and a looped handle for hanging, finished in classic black cast iron. Scrolled feet elevate the trivet slightly, allowing it to function both as a hot plate and a decorative wall piece.

Loth Stove Company, became known for its fine cast brass and iron decorative objects, many designed for Colonial Williamsburg.
