Antiqued brass signage

A popular product manufactured by Metal Sheets Ltd are antique brass signs, name plates and antique brass plaques.

These are engraved from 1.5mm thick machining grade CZ120 brass sheet

We cut, engrave and fill the text areas with a dark brass patina and finish the sign with an antique brass patina aged metal look.

Send your designs to us to get the ball rolling, ideally as a DXF file but our CAD department can work with many other formats.

 

Engraved copper plaque

We manufactured this round copper sign for The Singleton whiskey distillery’s visitor centre. It features a circular copper design with engraved elements. At the top, the text “THE SINGLETON” and at the bottom “PERFECTLY BALANCED” is engraved in to the copper. The centre showcases a stylized engraving of a fish leaping over water, which is part of The Singleton’s logo. The background has a textured pattern that contrasts against the smooth copper.
The engraved details are finished with a natural looking aged copper patina.
This sign serves as

Copper name plate

A copper sign we manufactured for Chrysalis Architecture. It features a solid rectangular copper plate with “cao” appearing stamped out with added engraved details.
It has a unique patina finish that adds depth and contrast against the copper background. The flamed copper patina was applied on the lettering to enhance the overall design, making it stand out beautifully. This sign not only serves a functional purpose but also reflects creativity and professional identity.

Engraved and filled brass name plate

Metals Sheets Ltd proudly manufactured this brass name plate for the Hard Day’s Night pub restaurant in Newcastle-under-Lyme. This plate features engraved text that has been treated to give an aged brass look, adding a touch of vintage charm. The pub, themed with The Beatles memorabilia, is perfectly complemented by this name plate. The craftsmanship and attention to detail highlight the quality of work by Metals Sheets Ltd, making it a fitting addition to such a unique and nostalgic venue.

Signage Ideas

While copper and brass signs and plaques are popular choices for engraved signage, consider an alternative that offers a unique, rustic charm: zinc. Zinc signage is versatile and easy to fabricate, making it an excellent option for various applications. Often, people associate zinc signs with cast plaques; however, we create ours using high-quality zinc sheet metal, providing a distinctive look and feel for your signage needs.
