Elessar's Crown
Recently, I decided to buy the Noble Collection's Elessar's Crown. The crown is supposed to be an exact replica of the one used in the movie "The Return of the King." I found the crown I ordered to be very solidly made and very beautiful. It very much looks like the one they used in the movie and according to the Noble Collection, it's overlaid with silver and 24K gold. The crown has the gull wings which represents the seafaring history of the men of Numenor (Numenor was an island kingdom) with the tree which was descended from the great tree Telperion which Numenor had a seedling from and which we see in the movie.
The collection also supplies a nice stand for the crown. The stand has a nice dark brown wooden varnished base with images of the tree printed on each of its four sides. The flat area where the crown is placed with covered with royal blue felt and has a bronze plaque stating that this is the Crown of Aragorn which I think is a little gaffe on the part of the Noble Collection. To protect the crown, a clear plastic cover is provided that slips over the crown and fits well into the wooden base. The stand really complements the crown.
Overall, the crown is wonderfully made and would be an excellent addition to any Lord of the Rings fan's collection. The stand that comes with the crown enhances the crown. It does an outstanding job of displaying it. I would definitely recommend this product to any Lord of the Rings fan.
