Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Rabat
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Rabat
The capital of the Kingdom of Morocco, Rabat lies at the Atlantic Ocean where it meets the Bou Regreg. While one of the original four Imperial Cities it is only the seventh largest city. After multiple cultures left their imprint, it was the Barbary pirates that gave the French Navy impetus to gain control of the region. Stability was followed by exploitation which gave way to independence in 1956. Since then the region continues to grow with the most recent addition of a Grand Theater designed by Zaha Hadid. This ornate cover can be found in the Medina and has an added Moroccan symbol at its pickpoint.
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.
