A Lynne de Boer Coach Egg will take about 40-50 hours to create. In creating these heirloom quality coaches, she utilizes many fine vintage jewelry pieces as well as some unique design elements. "I use special paint mixtures I've created on some, 10 coats of acrylic polyurethane on each, and heavy wire stands that are painted (I used to make these myself but a company makes them for me now using my original as a guide). That's the basics on every carriage egg. I use only fine antique or vintage jewelry, many of which are signed by famous makers like Eisenbergt, Weiss, Bogoff, Hollycraft, etc."
This coach was specially made for a famous doll artist and ordered thru an
exclusive doll shop i Reproducing the Royal Carriage as a commissioned work would cost a minimum of $1295.00 depending on the customers requirements. Contact the artist regarding commission of a similar piece. Lynne De Boer |
