Outdoor Weatherable Plaques with Portraits

Here is our photo gallery of outdoor plaques: https://www.flickr.com/photos/awardzone/sets/72157670063619156/

There are several options for permanent signs that include portraits:


Bas Relief


Bas Relief Plaque

The finished image will be an artist’s 3D interpretation of your photograph in cast bronze or aluminum and mechanically attached to the plaque background. The standard overall height is 6” to 12” with a finished depth of 3/4” to 1”. (Requires a six-week lead time.)

Minimum price for a 6" - 10" tall single portrait is $1,430.00 in addition to the base price of the plaque.

in 11", $1,510.  in 12", $1,600.



Flat Relief



Flat Relief
An alternative to the expense and time-consuming process of bas relief, flat relief plaques are two-dimensional castings that are part of a precision tooled plaque. The process starts with a good quality photograph or illustration from which our craftsmen create a black
and white rendering. Suitable for interior or exterior applications, they perfectly fit the bill when your project requires a portrait but the budget won’t allow for bas relief. The price for any size is $492 on top of the base price of the plaque.

We can engrave your artwork or copy onto polished black granite, which is suitable for interior or exterior applications. Choose from 11 common shapes and sizes for the base material.
