PLAQUE STYLES

We offer custom carved 2.5-D, 3-D and engraved dimensional authentic wall and podium plaques of all sizes, from 10 inches to 10 ft  in diameter, which are made from multi-color painted carved High-Density-Urethane (HDU), wood (cedar, redwood, mahogany, walnut, oak, maple, and cherry), and metal-plated HDU (brass, bronze, copper, silver-nickel,  stainless steel, aluminum, 24K gold leaf, and fine silver leaf).  We can make a plaque based on a drawing or photo of a seal, logo or crest, or design you a custom plaque at no charge. We will work with you to design and build the exact wall plaque you want. We also make custom  Attorney signs and plaque, including DOJ,  US Attorneys, and Public Defenders. Over a hundred outside and interior private and government attorney,  lawyer and law office signs, shingles and plaques are shown on our companion website Art Sign Works 

These plaques can be mounted outside as well as inside. They are suitable for courtrooms, entry lobbies, judge's chambers, and podiums. They can be customized with the name of the court, the judge's name, or any other text or artwork. In addition to this Gallery, we also have webpages for  State Courts, and County/Municipal Courts. You can order any of the plaques shown on this website or a new custom plaque of any artwork design and size. 

Fig. 5 - Large Carved 3-D HDU and Aluminum Great Seal of the United States, gilded with 24K Gold Leaf. We made two of these for the new US District Court of the Middle District of Tennessee, Nashville. These 8 ft diameter plaques are mounted on the top of the front facade of the courthouse.

The various styles of the plaques we make are described in our plaque STYLE section (click on "STYLE" on upper gold masthead). We can also combine materials on a plaque. We often use Mahogany plaque boards and carve 3-D HDU appliques which are either multi-color painted or metal-plated, to mount on the Mahogany. We can cut out text and artwork from thin sheets of aluminum and mount  these on 2.5-D Mahogany or cedar plaques with raised text and art; we call these metal-clad wood plaques.  The contrast between the shiny metal and rough dark wood is striking. We often gild  V-carved text of Mahogany plaques with 24K gold or silver leaf. We can also gild  areas of painted HDU plaques, usually raised text and art. We also make separate cut-out metal, stained wood and painted HDU letters. We can provide a 3-D bas-relief cast bronze and aluminum memorial or living person plaque featuring the face or figure of a justice or judge, etc.  if we are provided a good photograph.  All our plaques are manufactured in the USA by American craftsmen.
