AT THE EASTERN DOOR
Research based 18th century reproduction material culture and consultation.
Here are some of the questions that we answer on a regular basis.
Please keep in mind that this is just the short list and if you have any other questions, feel free to contact us.
Q. Do you have a catalog?
A. No we do not. Due to the sheer volume of products we offer from such a small yet talented group of craftsmen, it would be impossible to update a catalog efficiently to meet constant changes and additions. Whatever inventory we have is posted as made on our facebook page or travels to various events.This site serves as a testament to the quality of our work rather than as an e-commerce outlet.
Q. Do you do custom orders?
A. Yes. In fact, most of our orders are custom orders. However there are criteria that must be met when doing a custom order. We will only work within the parameters of known 18th century material culture. By simple terms of definition, there can be no reproduction if there is no documentation. This does not mean we will not create something that is truly an inspired piece, so long as the object in question has a legitimate material culture precedent and the final product fully adheres to the ethics of our standard. Please feel free to contact us and we'll do our best to meet your needs..
Q. How do I place an order?
A. It's quite easy, just send us an email or message us on our Facebook page and we'll be happy to help you.
Q. What payments do you accept?
A. We accept PayPal, Mastercard, Visa, Discover, American Express, Check and Postal Money Order.
There is a 50% deposit is required on most orders unless the item is from limited on-hand inventory.
Q. How long will my order take?
A. Orders are taken and completed in the order to which they are received. Depending on the item/s and the indivdual craftsman, it can be 4-6 weeks on smaller items and as long as a few years in rare cases and again, depending on the project and priority.
