Baltimore Cork Turntable Mat – Detailed City Map Design
This Baltimore cork turntable mat features a detailed map of Charm City, shaped by its close-knit neighborhoods and deep ties to the waterfront. The design follows the Patapsco River into Baltimore Harbor, capturing the Inner Harbor, the surrounding street grid, the shoreline, and the industrial waterfront in intricate detail. A great piece for any record collector who loves Baltimore, and a memorable gift for a proud Baltimorean or anyone who has left a piece of their heart in Charm City.
Part of our Studio Series, the artwork is infused directly into our proprietary high-density cork through dye sublimation, then finished with a protective UV seal. The result is a smooth, detailed surface that brings the artwork to life while preserving the natural character and performance of the cork.
