Personalised Wedding Plaque – Antique Brass Names & Date

The Plaque

A plain rectangular field held inside a scrolled frame, with a crest of leaves above. The ground is left smooth, so nothing competes with the lettering. Both names run across the centre joined by an ampersand, and the wedding date sits beneath on its own line. The ground is blackened, the frame and lettering raised in gold.

Formal, in the way a wedding is formal.

Craftsmanship

Real metal, formed over the sculpted shape rather than cast, so the leaf work stays separate in the crest and the frame keeps its scrolled returns. 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

Three things are yours: both names and the date. Names can run in either order and the date in any format you use at home. 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

Four 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 plaque 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 plaque stands a few millimetres clear. Throws a shadow line under the crest and no fixing ever shows.
• Easel stand: a slim metal easel on the back, so the plaque stands on a mantel, a console or a shelf instead of going on a wall.

Where it works

A bedroom wall, an entrance hall, above a dressing table, the landing at the top of the stairs. With the easel stand it sits just as well on a mantel or a console.

Gifting

A wedding gift that is not another dinner set. Also the natural present for a twenty-fifth or fiftieth anniversary, where the date on it has had time to mean something.

Care

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