Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Lyon
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Lyon
Lyon was born in Roman times as a refugee encampment on Fourvière hill near the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers. Given the strategic geographical location, Lyon became an important center for trade. The city was part of the Kingdom of Burgundy, then Arles, then the Holy Roman Empire and then finally part of France from the 1300s on. The city has been the banking center of France for centuries and now has a population of over half a million people. This ornate ventilation cover was produced by the Delrieux-Bourgonhoux Founderie and has an added distinct gum splat. This cover is also found in the France manhole cover coaster set.
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.
