Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Goslar
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Goslar
Nestled in the northern Harz mountains, Goslar is a beautifully intact city of 42,000 citizens. The allied forces in WWII deemed that the city was not worth sacking as they made their way to the Elbe. It’s timber and stucco buildings along with the now defunct, but historically lucrative silver mine has put this hamlet on the UNESCO registry. Goslar’s straßen serves as perfect B-roll for movies like Monuments Men. And, most likely, WWII jeeps roll over this cover which features the seal of the city.
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.
