Deep chrome effect moulding

Hi everyone

I'm trying to source a deep rebate chrome effect moulding - needs to have rebate of 50mm (to put golf ball + memorabilia).
Nielsen have the new Matrix collection (photo above) which is right effect but not deep enough.
Arqadia have a very deep metal (5811) but not right shape.

Am at a loss where to look... - any help would be great, thanks.

James

turn the wide one on its edge and cap it with the smaller one

Thanks have tried that way but unfortunately not deep enough - only other way I've found would be to stack them with backs flush & build up rebate difference BUT the join line will show on the edge - not great look - this might be final choice if no other moulding options found...

how much depth would it give you, ie how much would you be short, maybe do a cove box sticking out the back to gain the extra

if you search on here you will find examples of what i mean

Ashworth and Thompson do that range, but with two profiles that Nielsen don't do, a 72mm wide one and a shallower-rebated one, combine the two and you'll have all the depth you need and more. Ref Nos for the chrome finish are 6013.46 & 6008-46.

thanks cove box might be the way forward.
I need a rebate of 60mm to enable to fit a 50mm golf ball with double mount, 3mm glass, 3mm MDF.
If I were to place the larger moulding on its side then cap with narrower moulding I'd 20mm short - this might be where cove box comes

Thanks Roboframer! That's exactly what I need, I looked in their catalogue but it's not in there - an new range... Is the finish the same as Nielsen ie hardwearing film that's almost scratch proof rather than aluminum on wood?
I guess the idea as above would be to put wide moulding on its edge then cap with other

It's exactly the same stuff - Nielsen do more colours; A&T do more profiles.
