The Sign
A tall plate rather than a wide one: an arched top, the lower corners clipped back, and a plain raised border round the edge. A rose spray lies across the lower third, one open bloom, one bud and leaves on a stem. Three lines above it: the number large, the street, and the town and state.
It is the only plate in the range that stands taller than it is wide. Beside a door frame that matters more than it sounds.
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 is set far larger than the lines beneath it, so the plate works at two distances: the number from the pavement, the rest once someone is at the step. Raised brass over a ground left dark reads as contrast rather than as shape, and contrast is what carries in flat light.
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 lines are yours: the number, the street, and the town and state beneath it. The bottom line can be left blank. A design preview comes back by email before anything is made.

The upright format suits a narrow space. 7 x 5 carries a number and street; take 8 x 6 for the town line as well.
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
A door frame, a narrow pier, the space beside a porch light. It fits where a wide plate will not.
Care
Wipe clean. Avoid harsh cleaners.
