The Sign
A plate with clipped corners, aspen branches down both sides and a low mountain outline along the bottom. Four lines: the number very large, then the house name over two lines, and the town and state small at the foot.
Aspen leaves are almost round and they hang off long thin stems. On the plate they read as a scatter rather than as a border.
Craftsmanship
Grown in real copper and brass over a sculpted form. The detail sits at more than one height, 2 to 5 mm off the ground, so the face is modeled rather than flat, and the plate is 8 to 10 mm thick and solid through.
Readable from the road
The number carries from the road and the two small lines are read at the door. Raised brass over a dark ground reads as contrast rather than as shape, which is what keeps it legible in winter light and in headlights.
Built for outside
Sealed under a UV-protective finish once the patina is on. Sun, rain and frost leave the color where it is, and there is no steel in the body to rust and streak the wall.
Personalization
Three fields are yours: the number, the house name, and the town and state at the foot. The house name is set over two lines. Send them exactly as you want them set, suffixes included. A design preview comes back by email before anything is made.

- Relief: raised detail stands 0.1 to 0.2 in (2 to 5 mm) proud of the ground, at more than one height across the design

- Sizes: eleven, from 6 x 4 to 10 x 10 inches, height x width
- UV-protected and weather-treated for outdoor use
- Made to order in our own workshop
A two-line house name plus the town and state makes four lines. Start at 8 x 8; below that everything under the number is set too small to read from the path.
Mounting
Three ways, chosen at checkout.
- Keyhole slots: two screws into the wall, and it lifts off if you ever repaint behind it.
- Peel-and-stick tape: sealed strips already applied to the back. No drilling, which suits render, tile or a rented house. Needs a smooth, clean, dry surface.
- Floating stud mount: threaded studs on reinforced bosses that hold the plate clear of the wall. Best on brick, stone and shingle, where a flush fixing never sits true.
Hardware and instructions are included with all three.
Where it works
On a cabin wall, on stone, on a timber post. It suits a ski house or a mountain lodge, and the aspen reads as specific to that country rather than as general foliage.
Care
Wipe clean. Avoid harsh cleaners.
