Families who want their name on the house, not just a number, order the Large Hawthorne Oval personalized plaque. It’s a bigger version of our Hawthorne oval with three lines instead of one or two. The name goes on top, the house number in the middle, and the street name along the bottom curve. The photo shows “The Birkett’s, 121 Mill Brook Court” in gold on black.

Three lines of text

The name line holds up to 16 characters. The house number holds up to 5, and the street name up to 16. That’s enough for most surnames with “The” and a possessive, as in the sample. Some families use the name line for a farm or cottage name instead, which works just as well. If your street name is long, drop “Road” or “Lane” to an abbreviation and it will fit.

Finishes for the Large Hawthorne Oval personalized plaque

Seven finishes are offered: Antique Brass, Antique Copper, Black/Gold, Bronze Verdigris, Bronze/Gold, Oil Rubbed Bronze and Pewter/Silver. Black/Gold, as pictured, has the strongest contrast. Bronze Verdigris looks like old weathered bronze and suits older homes. Oil Rubbed Bronze is a dark single tone that reads through its raised edges.

Why cast aluminum

The Large Hawthorne Oval personalized plaque is cast in the USA from recycled aluminum. Aluminum won’t rust, which matters for a sign that lives outside year-round. The all-weather coating is backed by a five-year warranty. All three lines are cast into the metal, so nothing peels.

If you don’t need the name line, the one- and two-line Hawthorne ovals are in the wall-mounted address plaques. More name-and-address styles live in the personalized plaques category. Because every Large Hawthorne Oval personalized plaque is cast to your text, check the spelling of the name carefully; personalized orders can’t be changed or returned.
