The Palace Garden
This case will be on it's way to it's new home soon. The customer has given me permission to show it here.
It's called the Palace Garden. Each area of the case is different from the others with no two flowers repeated anywhere. There are 22 hand painted orchids with a lotus centerpiece on the front of the lid. The reason this case is called the palace garden is because the viewer can follow the flow around the case and wander through the detail for a while and still not see it all.
I am incredibly proud of what our team accomplished with this case. Not only was the design and tooling a great effort but the case is finished with a lot of blind hand stitching to reduce the amount of rivets needed. We invented a new way to do the handles so that they are comfortably contoured to the hand and yet allow a top area for tooling.
And there are some other things I will show you later after the customer has received the case because I want to surprise him.
Enjoy.
