Every Order
is a Custom Order
​
​
​
We do not maintain any stock or inventory of our works. When you order, you are commissioning your own œuvre d'art that we lovingly craft for you from select, hand-picked, solid Walnut sourced from the foot of the Alps and made in our woodshop in Bons-En-Chablais, France.
Gift Wrapping?
​
​
​
In our opinion, every single order is a special gift. In true French spirit, we look with condescension at plastic packaging & bubble wrap. Au contraire, we treat your gift like a fine grand cru; we wrap it like a baby angel in a velvety, suede material, tie it with a regal bow, and then we gently lay it in a special wooden shipping box that we custom-build in our woodshop. So you will literally need a screwdriver to open it when it arrives.
A Special note to Churches
​
​
​
When planning a gift for your pastor, we know it can be a hassle to collect personal donations from your members. And if you try to do it on a Sunday morning, you risk giving away the surprise.
​
To solve this problem, and to make your life easier, we can create a special online giving link, "Gift for Pastor John" for example, that you can simply email to all your members.
Please contact us for more details.
