Hand-Carved Wood Butterfly Trivet – Made in India

Description :
This intricately hand-carved wooden butterfly trivet showcases elegant scrollwork and symmetrical design carved from a single solid piece of hardwood. Designed for both function and display, the piece measures 5" x 8" x 1" and features raised pegs on the underside to elevate it from the surface, providing protection from hot pots or kettles. Marked “INDIA” on the reverse, this trivet likely originates from a traditional Indian artisan workshop, where such hand-carved household objects are common. Perfect for rustic kitchens, bohemian-style decor, or collectors of global folk crafts.
