This piece was originally part of a larger sliding trivet that would sit above a fireplace and would be used to heat a kettle or pot. See here.

We think this still works beautifully as a table trivet for a hot pan or dutch oven. 

When not in use it would look beautiful hanging on your kitchen wall.
