Plaques commemorate, plaques celebrate, plaques inform, plaques communicate. Plaques add a feeling of distinction and quality to a building. They can be used as an award or a gift. Plaques come in all shapes and sizes, for shields, trophies, awards, medals, rosettes, nameplates, house signs, dedication boards, desk signs and a variety of ornate and memorable gifts.

Furnells have over 40 years experience in producing a wide variety of plaques for commercial and residential use. We produce everything from ornate wooden bookends to decorative house plaques and shop frontages. Our artisans work in all types of materials, from solid mahogany, brass and Italian marble to fine crystal glass and acrylic plaques. We do ‘Blue plaques’ on famous people’s homes, silver plaques for sporting prowess, brass plaques for golf tournaments, Welsh slate plaques for leading edge designs and friendly wooden plaques for your favourite saloon bar. Furnells’ plaques are made to your specifications to suit your business or personal requirements.

Our experience in plaques dovetails with our expertise in engraving. Many of our plaque commissions require professional engraving to complete the communication. A Doctor’s brass plaque, for example, will require his name, qualifications and area of specialty. A stone plaque may call for detailed information about a person or event that took place on the site many years earlier.

Our plaque business also works closely with our sign service. Often our clients require both types of communication and come to Furnells in order to ensure a continuous corporate style.
