In Stately homes throughout the Uk, lead was historically used for signs, urns and planters, due to its corrosion resistant properties. As the modern world turned to plastics, lead became the province of the wealthy and well to do. Lead specialists are few and far between, but here we have recreated the style of the 1700s with these lead cast house numbers. The metal is patina red and the numbers are picked out in enamel paint for long lasting finish - these plaques will be there for centuries!

The first thing people look for is your House Number. Make your first impression a good on with these unique bespoke handmade Castings. This will look great hung outside your home, and will not look like all of the other mass produced signs you see.

Handmade to order and Hand Cast in Aluminium. These house number signs make a great addition to your home. The numbers are not glued or have adhesive backing; each number are individually cast in and will never fall off! In addition, they are hand painted in hard wearing enamel.

The base colour can be white, anthracite grey or black, green and the numbers can be white, gold or black or any colour of your choice.

Once you place your order, we prepare the pattern and produce the mould using traditional techniques that were first used in the bronze age. The sand remains soft and pliable (just like a sand castle), requiring a deft touch when handling the two halves of the mould. The metal is then melted and poured. Once cool, we fettle the casting and paint them. Three coats of enamel paint later, a blast in the oven and then it will be winging it's way to you.
