Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Toulouse
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Toulouse
The center of France’s Aerospace industry, Toulouse is home to over 475,000 residents making it the nation’s fourth-largest city. Located on the River Garrone just north of the Pyrenees, La Ville Rose, as the city is known due to its pink-hued bricks, is the capital of Southern France. This cover is adapted from a square set unit with a circular inset. It has a mesmerizing zig-zag radial pattern with the addition of the city symbol at its central pickpoint. Sadly, this old cover is a rare find in the city, but suits the purpose of the Under Cover series which is dedicating to documenting historic covers.
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.
