Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Frankfurt
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Frankfurt
The node for the bulk of American air travel to Germany, Frankfurt is home to over 750,000 people. Its skyline of tall, glass skyscrapers is evidence of its American influence, for better or worse. That is because the land was made available for development due to heavy Allied bombardment during the war. The city is the finance capital of Europe and most of those tall buildings are inhabited by the commercial banking industry. And some of those bankers may even step on this cover, which is one of the very few covers in Frankfurt to have any artistry. The water cover has the abbreviated name for Frankfurt am Main which surrounds eight open circular holes. The emblem of Frankfurt replaces the pragmatic central pickpoint.
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.
