Bespoke Brass Plaques in London
Engraved brass plaques made to suit the job — from company and office signage to commemorative, memorial and presentation pieces. Furnells combines experienced layout advice with in-house engraving and manufacture.
Brass Plaque Design Starts with the Layout
Brass has enough presence of its own. The strongest plaques are usually the ones where the wording has room to breathe and the information can be understood at a glance.
A design that looks fine on screen can become crowded once it is engraved into metal, particularly on an entrance plaque or sign seen while passing. Line breaks, letter size, spacing and the relationship between a logo and the wording all matter.
Furnells will flag anything likely to compromise the finished piece before manufacture. Sometimes a small change to wording or spacing is all it takes to turn an awkward layout into a plaque that looks as though it belongs in the space.
Brass Plaques for Business, Memorials & Signage
Brass works for formal business signage, office nameplates, commemorative pieces and traditional plaques. The specification should follow where the plaque will be seen and what it needs to communicate.

Brass Plaques Made for Their Setting
Indoor reception signage and an external commemorative plaque do not have the same job. Furnells can advise on proportion, readability, finish and practical details before the piece reaches the workshop.
That workshop input is particularly useful when supplied artwork contains too much detail or when wording needs to be read from further away than it appears on screen.
Brass Plaque Questions Answered

Why choose brass for a plaque?

Can a brass plaque include a logo?
Yes. Logos and supplied artwork can be incorporated where suitable for the engraving method and plaque dimensions.
Can Furnells help with the layout?
Yes. Wording, line breaks, spacing or artwork that may compromise the finished plaque can be flagged before manufacture.
