pan stand or is it?

Spotted these (two identincal ones) in my favourite charity shop in chesterfield, where I work. Not using them as pan trivets/trivetts........ going to hang them under one another on a wall, love the tarnished brown coppery look which goes with the décor in my living room, or as my grandma would say 'back' room and where we watch tv is the parlour. Nobody uses parlour any more, its a shame we lose lovely words in the name of modernity and progress. Not going to get on my shouty step!
