Bronze Plaque Border Styles

General

The border on a bronze plaque is cast integral with the plaque and is generally highlighted by either a stroke-sander, a buffing wheel or hand-rubbed to provide a pleasing contrast with the background finish.

Standard Borders

These consist of flat borders and are available at no extra cost on all standard sizes. Some designs are not practical on small namestrips under 3" in height.

Ornamental Borders

Decorative borders based on classic designs are available at additional cost on most standard size bronze plaques. These borders are dimensionally sculpted and hand finished. Because these are custom made, often they are used in combination with an unusual shaped or sized plaque.

Flat Decorative Borders

Helpful Hints

  • Most of our standard borders are sized in proportion to the size of the bronze plaque. If exact border dimensions are required (for example, to match an existing bronze plaque) please specify when ordering.
  • In addition to the width of the ornamental borders shown, custom widths may be sculpted by our pattern makers.
  • Most of our borders - particularly the ornamental and flat decorative styles - may be cast and provided in lengths for use with other sign or decorative elements.
