$74.64
Traditional Copper Sign Plaque plywood backed
1"/25mm high Garamond font on one or two lines pressed from one piece of eco friendly copper - this is a 99% recycled product. The copper is glued to plywood which is painted with black low VOC exterior paint
The copper tabs left and right cover the fitting screws for wood or masonry.
All fittings supplied including wall plugs.
The polished copper letters are laquered, the surround is left 'as is' and will improve further with age and humidity.
Polished copper reflects car and street lighting so illumination may not be necessary - saves electricity.
To Order
Please choose option from the dropdown menus and put your characters and tel no into the Personalisation box or notes to seller on checkout
Please keep one line length to 15 letters.
Please do not expect a 'jewelry quality' finish on the polished surface but is effective for signage and as the metal is reclaimed some imperfections do appear. Occasionally some marks are made in the pressing process but will ‘heal’ with time.
Green copper comes in many hues - please do not go by the pics for colour truth but please ask for any preferences.

David, The sign arrived ! Celebrating Summer Solstice yesterday, and over the moon on this full moon tonight. Most of all we are celebrating the artistry of the perfect sign. Twenty emails of questions, I had taken to calling you Saint David. Thank you for your communications and extra work to show me possible options. Your patience is irreproachable. The sign is ideal and just the right size. The color is enchanting. Your design exemplifies whimsy with a touch of formality in perfect balance. Thank you for being a true craftsman and gentleman. Your signs make folk feel the difference between a house and a home. Best Regards - Pixie

Beautiful piece of work. It hasn't got its pride of place yet as we wait for our new fence, but it sits on our mantle in the mean time.
