The royal monograms of three English monarchs are captured in these sand-cast, hand-finished trivets of lacquered brass. Williamsburg was the capital of Britian's largest, wealthiest, and most populous colony, and it was customary for lononists to honor their monarch. William and Mary accepted the throne in 1689 and figured prominently in the history of Virginia, including granting a charter for the College of William and Mary. Queen Anne, who began her 12-year reign in 1702, had the monogram "AR" denoting the Latin Anna Regina.
