Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-YONKERS
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-YONKERS
Unofficially the 6th borough of New York City, Yonkers is the third largest city in New York State. Located adjacent to the Bronx in West Chester County the city hosts just 2.5% of the population of NYC, yet is nearly as old. And old this cover is as nearly all extant are extremely worn. These are rare finds and most likely date to 1859 given the 33 stars ringing the rim. Oregon is the nations 33rd state. The radial motif of the cover is reminiscent of ornate bunting with one circular element deformed into a familiar shape if you’re a local Yonker.
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.
