Cast Bronze Plaques
There’s something uniquely special about choosing traditional cast bronze for a new house sign, memorial plaque, or grave marker. Each bronze plaque is a one-of-a-kind creation, carefully crafted by skilled artisans using time-honored methods to ensure that every sign or plaque leaving the foundry is a flawless work of art. The casting process imbues each bronze plaque with a rich texture and depth, making it a standout piece.
This timeless material continues to be highly sought after, largely due to its classic elegance and enduring quality. A bronze plaque adds a sense of permanence and prestige, whether used for a house sign, memorial, or commemorative marker. The background of the bronze plaque can be painted in black, blue, green, or brown to complement its surroundings. Additional custom colors are available for £60, allowing you to further personalize your plaque.
For those who prefer a more antique aesthetic, patinated bronze is also available, lending an aged, weathered appearance for an extra 20%.
Whether mounted with screw holes, rear studs, or ground stakes, a bronze plaque offers versatility in installation and stands as a lasting tribute or statement piece that will endure for generations.
Creating your Cast Bronze Signs and Plaques
The very latest in pattern making technology is combined with expert craftsmanship to offer you the best of both worlds when it comes to your bronze sign or plaque. The pattern making process gives us unlimited scope of lettering, motifs and layout. The patterns are created using moulds and molton bronze to create a rough casting of your sign or memorial (as you can see in our short timeline below).
