{"product_id":"custom-handwritten-message-plaque-antique-brass-sign-personalized-note-keepsake-gift","title":"Handwritten Message Plaque – Antique Brass, Round","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Plaque\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA circle, with a stepped border layered inward and a sunrise sculpted at the foot, its rays fanning up behind the writing. The handwriting stands raised across the open center. A small panel below the sunrise takes a name or a pair of years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe round shape is doing something specific. There are no corners to lead the eye, so it lands on the writing first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eYour handwriting, not a font\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSend a photograph of the note and we sculpt exactly what is on the paper: the slant, the spacing, the place where the pen pressed harder and the line went thick, the letter that trails off at the end. Nothing is redrawn, straightened or swapped for a typeface that looks similar. If the hand that wrote it was unsteady, the metal is unsteady in the same way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCraftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eReal copper and brass grown over the sculpted form rather than cast, which is how writing this fine survives at all. The writing, the layered border and the sunrise are each cut at their own height, from 2 to 5 mm off the ground, so every letter carries its own shadow and the rays stay distinct instead of flattening into a disc. The plaque is 8 to 10 mm thick and solid all the way through. The metal is bonded to the surface, not painted and not plated, so there is nothing to chip or peel away from the strokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat people send us\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA last letter. A signature. A birthday message. A line from a card that got kept when the rest were thrown out. A child's first go at their own name. Any language, any script, as long as the photograph is clear enough to read.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePersonalization\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo things: the handwriting itself, and the panel at the foot. The panel takes a name, a single date, or two years with a dash between them. Photograph the note flat, in daylight, with the whole of it in frame. A phone camera is fine. A design preview comes back by email and nothing is produced until you have approved it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuilt to last\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSealed under a UV-protective finish once the patina is applied.
