Vintage Untersetzer Gusseisen Emaille Weiß Chinese export measuring 146x101cmThis antique cast iron lace trivet is like a small piece of table architecture. Late 19th to early 20th century, with ornamentation of volutes, foliage, and floral motifs in the spirit of the Napoleon III era. The dark cast iron base is white enameled and shows an honest patina with abrasion and signs of wear. As a trivet, it protects surfaces with calm and weight. Equally suitable as a wall object, on a credenza, or in a group in the kitchen.
