[Ansteorra-announce] Re-Opening Bids for Early Period Styled Crowns & Coronets

[Chamberlain Deputy]

Greetings,

The Kingdom of Ansteorra is re-opening bids for new crowns in an early period style.  These will be replacing the ones created by Count Dinaris the Wanderer. These historic pieces are in poor condition and are in need of replacement after many decades of use. The Kingdom is seeking bids for Crowns that are: 1) are approximately 2.5 to 4 inches at highest point; 2) Golden in color; 3) have at least one, preference for more, Ansteorran Black Stars as prominent elements on the Crowns; 4) the Sovereign Consort’s Crown should have at least two black Roses; and 5) due to their high use, should be durable. The Heir and Heir’s Consort Coronets should be similar, but smaller versions of the Sovereign’s and Sovereign’s Consort’s Crowns. The overall look of these pieces should be consistent with an “earlier period” style for the Royal and Noble House of Ansteorra. Bids should provide proposed description of pieces, drawings, pricing, and warranty and servicing information at a minimum.

The bidding period will close Sunday March 25th, 2024 at 11:59pm.

Please submit bids along with artwork, maintenance schedule, and proposed delivery date.  Thoughts for consideration -- Crowns should be able to be sized/adaptable to fit a multitude of head shapes and sizes via padding or other means.  Materials should be cleanable and not require specialty products.

For those who submitted bids prior to Covid, please resubmit with any necessary revisions.
