This was originally a treadle on a sewing machine or jigsaw foot powered machine .Someone has welded four steel pegs on it to make a footrest or who knows what ?
What it may or may not have been will forever be q question. When those four little legs were added it became a trivet. Either for actual use, part of a unique collection or a wall hanger.

Yes that's exactly it. A Wilcox and Gibbs treadle machine. Thank you!! I knew it looked too much like feet with the lips on back.
Sorry I accidentally deleted the first comment. New here
Would be so nice if you used it as a trivet now to put hot pots on. Gorgeous design !
