Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Arnhem

$25.00

Given its city rights in 1233, Arhem is most famous for the 1944 tragedy of Operation Market Garden where British and Polish troops were left to defend the bridge against superior German forces. The Sisyphean effort was dramatized in the aptly named movie A Bridge Too Far. That bridge, which spans the Nederrijn and now in its third incarnation, is named for John Frost, a commander and airborne officer. Most likely the paratroopers originally landed in the adjacent Veluwe national park which has a rich landscape reflective of the Dutch countryside along with museums such as the Kröller-Müller Museum, Aldo Van Eyck’s pavilion and modern sculptures everywhere. Biking throughout the park is a must-do. Your bicycle tires may traverse this gridded cover while in Arnhem. The cover, manufactured by SVA in Nederweert varies from similar Dutch covers by its ring of 16 dots. The Seal of the city sits center with the city name below delineated in Helvetica.

The perfect gift for housewarmings, and anniversaries each illustration is initially hand-drawn for precision and then permanently etched into cork. The trivets are .375" thick and 7.25" in diameter with rounded edges. The engraving method has incredible detail and tactility. Fabricated from sustainable Portuguese cork. Designed and packaged in Philadelphia, PA USA.
Cork is a natural material, thus rare aberrations within the etching can occur.
As each one is made to order please allow three business days for delivery.
