View Icon Item Processing... Celebrated August 15th. Description: Scenes Language: English Background: Gold Leaf Border Color: Standard Brown Height: 10 1/8" Width: 6 3/8" A mounted icon is a photograph of an icon which is laminated, glued onto birch fibercore wood, trimmed with three edges on each side, and with the board painted and varnished to match the color on the edge of the icon. An unmounted icon is simply a laminated photograph of an icon. It is a common practice to frame an unmounted icon, or to use them as a guide in one’s own personal iconography. We keep Standard Mounted and Unmounted Icons in inventory, and can ship most orders the same or following day. In addition to our Standard Mounted and Unmounted Icons, which we keep in inventory and can ship most orders the same or following day, we also offer Custom Mounted and Unmounted Icons, made to your specifications. This store is equipped to allow you to order custom icons according to your specifications, provided you do not require special digital editing of the icons. Icon prices are based on the larger of the two dimensions. I.e., what is normally thought of as an 11x14” icon would be priced at the 14” rate above. Icons are typically not made to standard photographic sizes. Therefore, if while communicating to us that you would like an 11x14” icon, for example, we will make it to be 14” tall, regardless of what the width works out to be. If the second dimension (usually the width) is important to you, you need to make that clear to us in your initial communication with us. Some icons can be modified to fit size ratios other than what they were originally painted at, but some cannot. Please include your special needs in the comments box when you check out. If you require specific dimensions which require additional digital editing, additional charges may be required. Icons up to 24” wide (in this case, the smaller of the two dimensions) will be laminated. For example, a 24x36” icon will be laminated. All others will be varnished, like our hand-painted icons. Unless otherwise requested: Mounted icons less than 6” will be mounted on 1/4” Masonite. Mounted icons over 6” but less than 48” will be mounted on 3/4” Birch Fibercore. Mounted icons over 48” will be mounted on 1/4” Masonite, due to their size, weight, and the difficulty in shipping and handling them. We can make the very large icons on 3/4” Birch Fibercore, but most people prefer them on the thinner wood. Dormition Skete also has an extensive icon library with over 10,000 icon subjects which we can use to make almost any icon that you might desire. However, it takes time and effort to research the library for icons that we do not offer in our catalogue. They also usually require additional digital editing. Therefore, there will be a $25.00 minimum surcharge for any icon ordered that we do not offer in our catalogue, mounted or unmounted, in addition to the cost of our regular icons. Please feel free to contact us about any icon you may need that we do not offer in our catalog. These icon orders will be handled on a bid basis, and cannot be ordered directly from this store. Because Custom Icons are made to your specifications, Dormition Skete has no way of reselling them if you are not happy with them. Therefore, custom icons are not returnable. Most Custom Mounted Icon orders are shipped within ten days to two weeks from when the order is placed. However, since we are a small operation, there may be times when we cannot make them that quickly. Therefore, we ask that you please allow 4 - 6 weeks for delivery. Sorry, JavaScript must be enabled.
