It's a freaking mailbox...not high art!
So why do the dang things cost one meeelion dollars? Everything beyond the standard fare you find at the likes of Home Depot seems to be ridiculously priced. Frequently, too, accompanied by some snotty description whose subtext is "surely you arent planning to hang this outside?! unguarded?! on your HOUSE!?" I even ran across one pompous blurb that explained how the mailbox in question was designed by an architect without consideration for how much it would cost to produce (or buy).
Ultimately though, we found this. Style appropriate? Yes. Lovely detail for the outside (that's right) of the house? Yes. One million dollars? No.
If you love it and want one too, it came from here.

Meredith,
Did you see Ann's post about mail boxes? She and Lori got a copper mailbox very similar to the one you have a pic posted of only part of her criteria was that the box had to be lockable. Her post was on August 10th on the Chateau site.
