Easter Egg (1st Edition) Complete Set

CHF 217.00

First Edition.
The door that marks the turn of the year without a plastic bunny in sight. Choose this over seasonal tat and spring arrives on the front step with a bit of grace.

Our first release. An egg at its centre, surrounded by the small signs of early spring. Daffodils opening. Tulips pushing through. The quiet optimism that comes when the light changes and the garden begins again. It is not ornate for the sake of it. The detail sits low and deliberate. You notice it when you step closer.

That low, deliberate detail only survives because of how we make it. Every one is 3D-printed in wax and investment cast a single piece at a time. A mass-produced version would lose the daffodils to a worn die. Ours keeps them.

Cast in the same solid metal we use across the range, with the warm brass tone most people are looking for. It arrives bright and will deepen naturally with time and touch. If you prefer it lighter, a quick polish will bring it back.

A complete set, supplied with a matching backplate and fixings. Fits standard doors. And because it’s part of our interchangeable system, when the season turns you can swap the head for another without changing the base.

Backed by a 30-year guarantee. If it’s not right, we’ll make it right: 90 days for a full refund, no faff. A first edition, so there won’t be many about. Buying it as a gift? It arrives in plain, recyclable packaging ready to give, we dispatch twice a week, and if you’re up against a date, email us and we’ll bump you up the queue.

Sits well on a painted cottage door, pale render, a spring porch, or anywhere the season is worth marking. Up for Easter and spring, then swap in another head when the season turns.

Material. Solid marine-grade bronze. The copper alloy used on yacht propellers, offshore fittings, and marine hardware. Handles salt spray, rain, frost, and decades outdoors. Warm brassy colour that deepens with age. No plating, no lacquer, nothing to chip off. Weathers so much better than brass. Technically an aluminium bronze (AB2, CuAl10Ni5Fe4), but bronze covers it.

Casting. Investment cast from 3D-printed wax patterns. Capturing whiskers, feather, and fur captured in beautiful detail. Printed, cast, fettled, and finished in our Yorkshire foundry.

Fixings. Front-screw fix to the door face. Fits composite doors, solid wood doors, and metal doors. No through-bolts, no drilling all the way through.

System. The head separates from the base. Fit the base once, swap the head as often as you like. Fifty-plus heads available, plus a wreath holder.

What's in the box. A head, the starter kit (base plate, ring, receiver, and fixings), and a step-by-step installation guide. Everything you need for a first fit to your door.

Guarantee. 30 years.

Measurements are approximate due to the handmade nature of the casting and finishing process.

Bronze looks after itself. No polish, no cloth, no weekly routine. It will darken where it sits out of the rain and brighten where rain runs off it. That patina is the finish doing its job.

If you want it to look freshly cast again, a quick buff with a soft cloth and a little brass polish will bring the warm brassy colour back up. It will not come up to a full mirror shine, and that is deliberate. We do not lacquer the bronze, and every whisker, feather, and detail line on the head gets in the way of a perfect reflection. We would rather keep the character than the gloss.

Left alone, it will still be bright and yellowy. Just not mirror shine.

Packaging. Recyclable cardboard and paper packaging. No plastic, no decorative pouches, no wooden boxes.

Dispatch. Twice a week, Tuesdays and Fridays. If you need it in a hurry, email us and we will bump you to the top of the queue.

UK. Free tracked and signed delivery on orders over £100. Royal Mail Tracked 48 otherwise.

International. We ship regularly to the USA, Canada, EU, Central and South America, Australia, New Zealand, and most destinations in between. A small number of countries are off our list due to export restrictions or delivery reliability. If in doubt, email before ordering. UPS for the US. All costs and taxes calculated at checkout.

Returns. Zero faff. 90 days from delivery, return for any reason, full refund. Honest heads-up: we have had three returns in five years, mostly from house sales falling through, so it may take us a minute to work out how to do it. Drop us an email first and we will get you sorted.

Frequently asked

Do you make them in silver, CHROME OR ANTIQUE BRASS?

No. We believe in truth to materials. Every head is cast in our marine-grade bronze. We don't believe in plating. For a different finish, we can coat it in Cerakote ceramic paint (the finish used on firearms and aerospace hardware) for a supplement. Any colour you like, done to order. Please email us.

How big is it?

Head and base dimensions are listed on each product page. We are measuring and photographing the full set at the moment, so a handful are still to come.

Do you ship to the US?

Yes. We ship regularly to the USA, Canada, EU, Central and South America, Australia, New Zealand, and most destinations in between. All taxes and delivery calculated at checkout.
