The manufacturing, conditioning and packaging of the cast-iron and oak wood “Château de Versailles” chests are entirely realised in France. The chest is made of a completely removable cast-iron structure, assembled with highly resistant stainless-steel bolts. The cast-iron is cast in France in the best possible conditions as to ensure optimal technical and sanitary quality. The structure is cataphoresis-treated before receiving a primer and two coats of finishing paint.
The opening side panels are made of French Centre and Burgundy regions oak wood. They are shaped and painted in the workshop in the French Centre region. They are kept together by cast-iron fittings which are attached to the main structure with bi-chromated pins.
The hinged opening cover is made of steel, also treated against corrosion and in the same color as the structure.
For European shipments, the chest is placed on a wooden pallet and packed in a cardboard box bearing marked “Jardins du Roi Soleil”. For all other shipments, the chest is placed on a wooden pallet and packed in a wooden box also marked “JRS”.
