Crown Cases
Crown case update! (2/24/10)
Alan, my father-in-law, finished a couple of crown case prototypes the other day..and putting the finishing touches on what should be the perfect example of the cases we will start offering shortly.
Once I have photos of this crown case posted, I will start accepting official orders for the cases.
in the meantime, I'll go ahead and list out some of the features of my line of cases, along with the size/finsh options.
All the cases will feature:
*solid oak constructon.
*an integrated/recessed magnetic closure, which will allow very secure storage for the crowns, but also easy access to the crowns when needed.
*a full edge of solid metal hinge to ensure smooth opening and closing.
*large glass inlay for the lid, edged in matching oak.
*recessed hanging handrware....so you can hang the case on your wall..or you may lay it flat on a coffee table/bookshelf without fear of scratching up the underlying surface.
*integrated interior hanging system for the crowns.
*"floor" panel of the cases will be lined in white velvet and a small engraved icon (made by yours truly) will be affixed in the center of the case
Case finish options
* Honey stained Oak
*Cherry stained Oak
*Mahogany stained Oak
*Black Laquered finished Oak
*White lacquered finished Oak
Case sizes
**There will be 3 case sizes from which to choose, depending on which crowns you purchase + how you would like to have your crowns displayed.
*Small....crowns will overlap on-another (think olympic ring overlay). This will work for most of the crowns..but more specifically, the thinner contemporary crowns all the way up to 1/2" tall crowns.
*medium...allows crowns to sit side-by-side. also a little deeper than the "small" case...so accomodates the vase majority of crowns. this is a great arrangement if your crowns feature a full interior engraving...allows you uninteruppted views of that detail.
*Large case...largest and deepest case. Again, allows crowns to site side-by-side..but accomdates the tallest and fullest crowns, includeing the "Alexander" crowns, and the olympus crowns.
**custom sizes will be availble for order, if , for example, you would also like to include your candles. at some point, that may be a "stock" size, but I'm not sure of the demand for that style. So we'll play that by ear.
**will also have the option of having the exterior of your cases engraved with your names/date
prices are not quite set for the cases yet, but good faith estimates are
small $160-200
medium $180-$225
large $200-$250
Currently, the cases will be made upon demand and may ship separately from the rest of your order. But soon, we will have a full range of stock of the cases made and ready to go.
