Antique Brass & Aged Copper Signage

Brass and copper are among the most popular materials for vintage metal signage, offering warmth, depth and a natural ability to develop character over time. We produce bespoke vintage metal signs including engraved plaques, lettering and fabricated panels, with aged finishes such as antique brass, patinated copper and hand-applied surface treatments.

These finishes are ideal for hospitality, heritage and interior branding projects where a traditional or premium aesthetic is required, delivering a refined and time-worn appearance that enhances both class

Rusted Corten Steel Signage

Corten steel signage offers a distinctive industrial, weathered appearance, making it a popular choice for exterior vintage signage. The material develops a stable rust patina that protects the surface while creating a rich, evolving finish.

We fabricate custom Corten steel signs for landscaping, architectural features and wayfinding systems, supplied pre-weathered or ready to develop naturally over time.

View our Corten Steel Signs page for more details.

Patina & Aged Metal Finishes

Aged finishes are central to achieving an authentic vintage appearance. Our specialist patina studio produces a range of finishes including antique brass, aged copper and oxidised surfaces, carefully controlled to achieve consistent colour and tone.

These finishes can be applied across plaques, panels and lettering, allowing for a cohesive signage scheme across larger projects.
