Personalized Home Bar Sign – Antique Brass Crossed Antlers

The Sign

A shaped plaque with two antlers crossed above the head, tines rising clear of the outline on both sides, and the initial set in the space where they meet. Oak leaves gather at the foot. The family name runs across the widest part, the bar line under it, the year at the base.

Crossed antlers make an asymmetric top edge, and that is what gives this one its character. No two points finish at the same height.

Craftsmanship

Antler tines are thin and long, which is exactly the shape casting cannot hold. Grown in copper and brass over a sculpted armature, each tine keeps its taper and its point, and the two racks stay clearly separate where they cross. Antlers, monogram, oak leaves and lettering all sit at their own heights, 2 to 5 mm off the blackened ground. The body is 8 to 10 mm thick and solid through.

Built to last

Sealed under a UV-protective finish, so the exposed tines keep their color instead of dulling first, which is what happens to the high points on an unsealed piece.

Personalization

Four fields: the family name, the bar line, the year, and a single initial for the crook of the antlers. The renders show WHISKY. Type WHISKEY and that is what gets made. A design preview reaches you by email and we wait for your approval.

Mounting

Pick one of three at checkout.

• Keyhole slots: cut into the back, two screws and done.
• Peel-and-stick tape: heavy sealed strips, applied here before it ships. Nothing to drill.
• Floating stud mount: studs that hold it clear of the wall, so the edge reads as a silhouette.

All three arrive with the fixings and a short instruction card.

Where it works

A hunting lodge, a snug, a bar in a stone outbuilding. It suits dark walls, and the projecting tines mean it is best hung where nobody brushes past it.

Gifting

For a hunter or a highlands regular. Order the floating stud mount if you want the antler shadows on the wall, which is where the design does its best work.

Care

Dry cloth only, lightly. It does not want polishing and it does not want washing.
