Trivet Yin Yu Tang: A Chinese Home Lattice Screen
Protect your surfaces with this cork backed tumbled marble trivet printed with a detail of a carved Dragon Gate lattice screen in the Yin Yu Tang: A Chinese Home.
Yin Yu Tang, or "Hall of Plentiful Shelter," is a stately sixteen-bedroom house built in the 1790's by a prosperous merchant in the Huizhou region of southeastern China. It was home to eight generations of the Huang family for more than 200 years. Situated according to feng shui principles to ensure a harmonious relationship with the landscape, rooms are arranged around an interior "sky-well" and surrounded by decorative details, such as elaborately carved lattice and two fish pools. As part of a cultural exchange project, Yin Yu Tang: A Chinese Home and its contents were carefully dismantled from its original location in China and re-erected at the Peabody Essex Museum in 2003.

Studio Vertu works primarily with tumbled Botticino marble. This particular rock is chosen for its lack of veins and lines so the printed image is not distracted by what mother nature provides us. Each piece of rock is examined by our artisans before the printing process begins. That being said, you should still expect to see the imperfections that nature provide; small nicks, dings and fissions are to be expected – like with fine raw silk they add to the unique beauty of the product.
