cork

These metal accented cork coasters have more style that your normal, run of the mill, hum-drum coasters. Interesting, earthy material, and maybe a little pricey, but don't be afraid to use them. The house that I live in has 80 year old cork floors. I can just imagine that these, with many years wear on them, could be just as rich, with a depth of patina that would make them even more desireable. Practical, and a unique gift idea.

An unusual material, in this case, cork, makes for a very special landing place for keys, coins, letters.....perfect for a dresser or desk. The natural unfinished cork will acquire a wonderful patina over years (and I know this is an investment) of usage and the metal details give it a very sophisticated, somewhat masculine appeal. It has a vaguely nautical refference, so it would be perfect as a special gift for a sailor's yatch or at a beach house. 20" X 10".
