Know before you buy
The plaque is crafted from a durable blend of cast stone and resin. This combination ensures a substantial, high-quality feel while maintaining the intricate details of the original design.
While the cast stone construction is durable, it is primarily designed for interior display. If placed outdoors, it should be in a sheltered area protected from direct, harsh weather elements to preserve the finish.
The plaque is designed with a flat back, making it suitable for hanging. We recommend using a heavy-duty picture hanger or a secure mounting bracket appropriate for your specific wall type, given the plaque's 4-pound weight.
Because each plaque is handcrafted individually after your order is placed, it is not pulled from a pre-existing inventory. This artisanal process ensures that every piece receives focused attention, though it does mean you should account for a production period before the item ships.
No, mounting hardware is not included. Because wall materials vary—from drywall to masonry—you will need to select the appropriate hanging hardware or adhesive system for your specific wall surface.
