Metal Memorials Brass Plaques

Brass plaques are the perfect choice for lasting dedications, memorials, and signage for municipalities, government buildings, schools, and businesses. Crafted from premium yellow brass alloy, these plaques feature a timeless golden finish—available in satin or mirror polish—and are sealed with automotive-grade clear coatings to ensure durability and last a lifetime, indoors or out.

Our brass plaques can be created in flat relief (one raised and one recessed level), or brought to life with added dimension through hand-sculpted clay models, cast and finished for a truly custom result.
