Vintage Brass Heraldic Trivet

An intricate vintage brass stand from England, featuring a crowned lion and unicorn flanking a central shield with crossed swords. The surrounding inscription, “Honi soit qui mal y pense,” means “Shame on anyone who thinks evil of it,” while the banner below bears the royal motto “Dieu et mon droit”—“God and my right.” Pierced scrollwork, four curved legs and an aged brass patina give this small piece a commanding presence, lovely beneath a plant or a treasured object.

Dimensions: 5½” square × 3” high.
