Set the Hawthorne Oval estate two line plaque at the end of a driveway and nobody has to guess which house is yours. The upper line takes up to five numbers at 4.5 inches. The lower line takes up to 17 characters at 1.75 inches, which is room for most street names written out in full. The oval frame holds both lines without feeling crowded.

Why an oval for two lines

A rectangle with two lines of text can look like a parking sign. The oval avoids that. The wider middle gives the number room, and the curve tapers naturally around the shorter street line below. In the photo, a Hawthorne Oval estate two line plaque reading 6835 Oakwood Court sits in a classic bronze finish.

Colors and finish on the Hawthorne Oval estate two line plaque

Twelve colors are available: Antique Brass, Antique Copper, Black/Gold, Black/Silver, Black/White, Bronze/Gold, Bronze Verdigris, Green/Gold, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Pewter/Silver, Red/Gold, and White/Gold. For a house far from the road, a dark background with light lettering is the practical pick. For a house close in, choose whatever matches the trim.

Casting, coating, warranty

Like the rest of the Hawthorne line, this sign is cast in the USA from recycled aluminum, which won’t rust. Its all-weather protective coating is covered by a five-year warranty. Both lines of text are cast into the aluminum. So before you order, read the street name back against something official. A Hawthorne Oval estate two line plaque can’t be modified, cancelled, or returned once the order is placed.

If you only want the number, the one-line estate oval offers it at up to 7 inches tall. Smaller ovals and every other staked style are under lawn address plaques, and the wider family of house signs is at address and home signs.
