Lieutenant Colonel Gentile contacted Artcraft about having a very special Chest made for his little girl. He told us all about a French Children’s book “Le Petit Prince” his daughter was obsessed with. He wondered if we could have some of the illustrations from the book incorporated into a Sticks Chest as a special gift to his little princess. One look at the illustrations and we felt confident we could have a really cool piece put together.
While thrilled to hear we could do it, LTC Gentile still had his doubts. He hadn’t told us yet that they are located in Germany. Again, we eased his fears. While the shipping within the US on all Sticks pieces is Free, we can certainly arrange for any international shipment after quoting shipping separately. We used our extensive resources to find a very reasonable shipping rate to Germany and we were off and running. Check out the amazing detail on the piece below. We even used German Wording along the top edge.
We encouraged Colonel Gentile to browse the Sticks Chests Catalog to get an idea of what designs he likes the feel of for starters. He was able to get back to us with a clear cut favorite. “I would love if you were able to re-imagine Sticks Chest 10333 to include the original watercolor illustrations from the book my daughter loves.”
We supplied the artist with the most important illustrations as selected by the Colonel. We also included a list of special wording he wanted included in German. Check it out. It came out amazing!
“It arrived in Germany safe, sound and perfect! Take a look for yourself and compare with my notes; I can’t imagine anyone finding complaint with the result. Thank you for your help and persistence.” … James
