Art Deco Sunburst Family Plaque in Antique Brass

The Sign

An octagonal plate with stepped corners, a sunburst at the top, small diamond points at the sides and a little fan at the foot. Three lines: the number large, the family name below it, and the year on a small line 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 family name and the established year are yours, as 1642, THE BENNETT FAMILY and EST. 2021 are in the pictures. Only the number is required. A design preview comes back by email, and once you approve it the sign leaves the workshop in five to seven business days.
