Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-NYC-NYM
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-NYC-NYM
LOCATED IN MANY AREAS OF THE FIVE BOROUGHS, THE NYM COVER IS LITERALLY FOR THE NEW YORK MUNICIPAL RAILWAY, NOT THE NY METS. THIS ONE WAS FOUND IN WILLIAMSBURG, BROOKLYN WHICH HAS CHANGED DRAMATICALLY SINCE 2005. THE COVER WITH ITS POLAR ARRAY OF TRAPEZOIDS, CENTRAL DECORATIVE IDENTIFIER, AND CURIOUSLY SHAPED GUM SPLAT IS ONE OF THE FEW AUTHENTICALLY OLD ELEMENTS LEFT!
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.
