Prairie Sumac Address Plaque in Antique Brass

The Sign

A low capped lintel runs across the top with a geometric fretwork panel behind the text, and a sumac spray with berries sits on a small block at each lower corner. Three lines: the number large, the street below it, and the year in a narrow panel at the foot.

Craftsmanship

Electroformed metal over a sculpted form, finished in antique brass. The lettering and the design stand off a dark textured ground at more than one height, so the piece reads as modeled rather than stamped. The metal is bonded to the surface rather than painted or plated, so there is nothing on it to chip, flake or peel.

Sealed under a UV-protective finish and weather-treated, so it holds its color outside, on a gatepost, a pillar or the wall by the door.

Personalization

The number, the street and the line at the foot are yours, as 512, SUMAC COURT and BUILT 1910 are in the pictures. Only the number is required. To have it in your own design, draw it on paper and upload a photo or scan with your order; leave that empty and we make the design shown, with your words. A design preview comes back by email, and once you approve it the sign leaves the workshop in five to seven business days.
