Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Marrakesh
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Marrakesh
Located at the foot of the Atlas Mountains and at the door to the Sahara, Marrakesh is one of the four Imperial Cities of Morroco. At one point in its long history the “Land of God” was the capital under a few Berber and Arab dynasties. The city draws millions of tourists with its cultural heritage, food, souks and gloriously decorated mosques. This cover is clearly influenced by the latter’s motifs and can be found in the Medina along Rue Mouassine and forged by the Famecane foundry. The radial layout of shapes was done by hand as demonstrated by the misspelling of the word “Assainissement” or “Sanitaton” in this case. Part of that Medina charm.
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.
