Personalised Map Plaque – Antique Brass Location Wall Art

The Map

A framed panel carrying the street plan of a place you choose, cut in relief: roads standing proud, water and open ground dropped back, the grain of the city legible at a glance. The place name and its coordinates run along the base. The ground is blackened, so the streets read as gold lines against it.

Close enough to find your own road on it. That is the test we set it.

Craftsmanship

Real metal, formed over the sculpted shape rather than cast, so the finest roads stay separate and the junctions keep their shape instead of blurring into one another. The metal is bonded to the surface, not painted or plated, so it will not chip, flake or peel. Raised gold, buffed back by hand, against a blackened ground. That contrast is what lets it read from a distance.

Built to last

UV-protected and weather-treated after finishing. It is made for a wall inside the house, but it holds its colour in direct sun and through the monsoon, so a covered verandah or a porch wall is equally safe. No fading, no rust bleed, no repainting.

Personalisation

Yours to choose: the location, how far out the map is drawn, and the label beneath it. Send an address, a landmark or a pin and the framing is set around it. Written in any language: English, Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Tamil, Punjabi, Urdu, Bengali. Long names are welcome; the lettering is set to fit your name rather than your name cut to fit the plate. Send the spelling exactly as you want it and a design preview comes back by email before anything is made.

Mounting

Three ways, chosen at checkout.

• Peel-off tape: three sealed strips across the back, no drilling at all. Best on a tiled or granite surface, or anywhere you would rather not make holes.
• Keyhole slots: two screws in the wall and the panel lifts on and off. Simplest permanent fix, easiest to level.
• Floating stud mount: four threaded studs on reinforced bosses, set into the wall so the panel stands a few millimetres clear. Throws a shadow line under the frame and no fixing ever shows.

Where it works

A study, an entrance hall, above a console or a sideboard, an office wall. It holds a dark wall especially well, where the ground disappears and only the street pattern is left.

Gifting

For someone who is proud of where they are from, or who has just arrived somewhere new. Works for a griha pravesh, a first flat, a milestone birthday, and for anyone who left a city and still counts it as home.

Care

Wipe with a soft dry cloth. No metal polish or scouring, the dark ground is meant to stay dark.
