Dragons show up all through Celtic art, usually drawn as a long knotted body with the tail looping back on itself. The Celtic Dragon address plaque borrows that figure and sets it beside your house number. People who buy it tend to want something bolder than the usual oval sign, and it delivers that without looking like a novelty.

Room for a long street name

The number line holds up to 5 characters at 3 inches tall. The second line is the generous one: up to 17 characters at 1.25 inches. That’s enough for “Taverners St” with five characters left over, so you rarely need to abbreviate. Both lines on the Celtic Dragon address plaque are cast into the aluminum, not applied afterward.

Spaces count toward the limit, as do periods and apostrophes. Write the second line out and count it before you order.

Choosing a finish for the Celtic Dragon address plaque

It comes in Antique Copper, Black/Gold, Bronze/Gold or Green/Gold. The dragon’s knotwork has a lot of fine detail, and a strong contrast like Black/Gold shows it off best from the street. Green/Gold is the traditional Irish pairing. Bronze/Gold and Antique Copper blend in more, which some people prefer on stone.

Built to stay outdoors

The Celtic Dragon address plaque is cast in the USA from recycled aluminum. So there’s no rust to worry about, and the all-weather coating is backed by a five-year warranty. Keep it clean with water and a soft cloth.

If a dragon is more than you want, the Irish Collection also has knotwork, Claddagh and shamrock versions. And if you’d rather have a plain cast number for the house, the personalized plaques cover that. Because the text is cast permanently, personalized orders can’t be changed or returned, so confirm your spelling first.
