Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-London PEARSON
ROBERT HENRY AND JONATHAN PEARSON FOUNDRY WAS ORIGINALLY LOCATED AT 14 DURHAM PLACE, NOTTING HILL GATE IN LONDON. THE IRONMONGERS HAD CATALOGUES FOR ALL SORTS OF HOBS, RAILINGS, GATES AND OF COURSE COAL PLATES. THIS PLATE FEATURES SIX CIRCLES ARRAYED AROUND A CENTRAL CIRCLE ALL WITH INTERNAL RADIAL DEPRESSIONS. THE FOUNDRY NAME AND GENERAL LOCATION RUN ALONG THE PERIMETER GIVING THE PEDESTRIAN SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL, FUNCTIONAL, AND A WAY TO FIND ANOTHER FOR THEMSELVES.
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.
