Family Tree Crest Plaque with Initial – Antique Brass

The Plaque

An arched plaque with a tree at the center, its branches filling the top and its roots spreading below a small shield with the initial. The name runs beneath, with the motto under it in a written hand.

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, so it holds its color on an interior wall, a covered porch or in a sheltered corner of the garden.

Personalization

The initial, the family name and the motto are yours, as B, BENNETT and Together Always are in the pictures. Only the name is required. Leave the initial empty and we use the first letter of the name. The motto is in a written hand, as on the card in the pictures: write it on plain paper in dark ink and photograph the sheet, and we follow your own hand. Type it instead and it is set in the script shown. 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. By sending us artwork you confirm it is yours to use. A design preview comes back by email, and once you approve it the piece leaves the workshop in five to seven business days.
