Blacksmiths House

We were recently commissioned to create a bespoke house sign for a customer moving into a beautiful listed property. They wanted something in keeping with the traditional style of their neighbours’ plaque while adding a subtle personal touch.

Working closely with the customer, we designed a simple yet classic layout using a bold serif typeface. To aid visitors, a directional arrow was incorporated along with the house number. A small anvil motif was added at the top of the plaque as a nod to the name Blacksmiths House, but kept understated so it would not distract from the lettering.

Once cast in solid aluminium, the sign was finished in a durable black powder-coat to match the neighbouring plaque. We carefully linished the raised letters to reveal the natural silver of the metal, creating a crisp contrast against the background. The border and anvil motif were deliberately left black to remain subtle and refined.

The finished piece is traditional, durable, and perfectly suited to its historic surroundings. It is a timeless house sign with just the right balance of detail and restraint.

Whatever your vision, we can craft a cast bronze plaque that’s entirely unique to you, with no templates or restrictions, and a design tailored to your needs. We're here to assist you, every step of the way. If you see something you love, don't hesitate to reach out to us for pricing details and specifications.
