Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-FORT WORTH
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-FORT WORTH
Historically the center of the longhorn cattle trade, Fort Worth’s manhole cover reflects that history emphatically. Although this Accucast cover is made in India, where cattle is sacred, the company is in Waco, Texas, 100 miles to the south. Incorporated in 1874, this city of over 900,000 has evolved into a major cultural center with architectural works by Lou Kahn, Tadao Ando and Renzo Piano. The former masterpiece was ironically labeled a cow shed due to its series of cycloid arched vaults. These buildings make any trip to the city worth it.
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.
