Frequently Asked Questions
Bronze portrait plaques are crafted from solid cast bronze, offering durability, timeless appearance, and excellent outdoor resilience. Depending on the project size and layout, precision tooling may also be used. Each plaque is sealed with a protective clear coat and naturally develops a beautiful patina over time.
We offer several portrait options to suit your design needs: - Bas Relief: Hand-sculpted three-dimensional bronze portraits - Photo Relief: Photos converted into low-relief bronze renderings - Etched Images: Fine black-and-white line art or detailed illustrations - UV Printed Images: Full-color or black halftone portraits printed directly onto bronze — suitable for both interior and sheltered outdoor displays
Yes. In addition to the portrait, plaques can feature: - Raised lettering for names, dates, and dedications - Background textures such as stippled, pebble, or leatherette patterns - Paint-filled backgrounds in standard or custom colors - Military branch seals, university logos, or civic emblems if needed
Yes. Cast bronze plaques are built for long-term outdoor durability, withstanding rain, sun, snow, and temperature changes. Over time, a natural patina enhances the plaque's character without reducing portrait clarity.
Most bronze portrait plaques range from 12" × 18" to 24" × 36", but custom sizes are available. The amount of text, detail, and portrait style may influence the recommended size for best visual clarity.
Bas relief portraits are hand-sculpted in clay by a professional artist based on your submitted photograph. Once approved, the sculpture is used to create a mold for casting in bronze. After casting, the portrait is hand-finished and patinaed, creating a timeless, dimensional tribute.
Photo relief portraits capture basic facial features and likeness with low-relief depth. They work well for standalone portraits and can also accommodate background scenery or full photo collages. Clear, high-resolution photos with strong contrast produce the best results.
Please send a high-resolution, sharp photo of the individual, ideally facing forward or slightly angled. We accept digital files (JPEG, PNG, TIFF) or high-quality scanned prints. The better the original image, the more accurate and detailed the final portrait will be.
Yes. We can create plaques featuring multiple individuals through grouped bas reliefs, multiple photo reliefs, or a series of UV printed images. Larger plaque sizes are recommended to maintain proper portrait clarity and balance.
Yes. UV printed images are durable for both interior and sheltered exterior installations. We offer UV prints in full color or black halftone, providing flexibility in design. For plaques fully exposed to outdoor weather, cast or etched portraits are recommended for maximum longevity.
