This is a "Welcome Sign" made for a customer in Great Falls, Mt. It has hammered iron boarder and letters that stand off the back plate which is a piece of 14 gauge sheet steel, hand ground and copper plated. I have always loved the contrast of the hammered iron against the ground copper, the light plays off of this piece so wonderfully. This sign is 60" tall x 14" wide.

This piece can be custom built to any size and shape. You can have your last name, welcome, house number...........let us know.
