Know before you buy
The distressed look, including the rust spots and scratches, is a printed design. The surface of the aluminum sign itself remains smooth to the touch.
This sign is specifically intended for indoor use. While the aluminum is durable, the printed finish is not rated for exposure to direct sunlight or harsh outdoor weather conditions.
The sign comes with pre-drilled eyelets, making it easy to hang using standard nails, screws, or decorative hooks.
Because each sign is produced individually, the distressed aesthetic is applied to order. This ensures that while the design remains consistent, every piece has a unique, handcrafted character.
No, the sign is made of lightweight aluminum. It is easy to handle and can be mounted on most wall surfaces using simple hardware.
