From the estate of a former antiques dealer, this rare brass Virginia Metalcrafters mid-century kitchen trivet commemorates the Confederate States of America 1861 to 1865 and has all original patina. It features a hore and rider in the center surrounded by the raised words "The Confederate States of America", "22 February 1862", and "Deo Vindiol". Virginia Metalcrafters was founded on October 6th, 1890, as the W.J. Loth Stove Company. Located in Waynesboro, Virginia. The company signed a license with Colonial Williamsburg in 1951 to produce brass and iron reproductions. The company's hand casting and finishing methods are the same as those used to form the original antiques. Williamsburg was just the first of many museum licenses. Today, Virginia Metalcrafters manufactures licensed products for Colonial Williamsburg, The Smithsonian Institution, Mount Vernon, Monticello, Historic Charleston, Winterthur, Historic Newport, Old Salem, Old Sturbridge Village and The National Trust for Historic Preservation. The trivet measures 5.0" in diameter and is in very good condition only missing one of the rubber foot covers (probably not original anyway), and it's marked on the back impressed in the metal 10-18, C.S.A. Trivet, Copyright 1952, VA. Metalcrafters along with the manufacturer's marks. /32
