A personalised handmade and gilded ‘your’ home glass sign, with a raised heart highlighting the very location onto an original vintage map.
Whether for a friend, family member or even yourself, this handmade genuine gold leaf glass sign is sure to be a unique gift for any home.
The letters are gilded using two traditional techniques, creating mirrored and matte surfaces, in genuine gold leaf. ‘Your’ home location is highlighted on a vintage cloth-backed map by a raised illuminated heart, using matching gold leaf.
The glass used has an incredibly striking clear bevelled edge — hard to capture in any photography — adding an additional layer of detail to this sign. Finished in a natural-colour handmade frame, with hanging cord.
I have a growing collection of vintage maps, and one will always be sourced if your location isn't already within them. A map’s quality will vary depending on its age, and often delightfully annotated by its previous owner elevating the sign’s uniqueness and originality further.
Gold leaf is available in a variety of tones, from 12ct white gold through to 24ct deep yellow gold, and in this instance I’ll be selecting the best match for the lettering and heart to coincide with their map-pairing — promise, i’ll always choose a goodun’!
Once an order has been placed by specifying the location (county or town) and position (post code) of the heart, I will be in touch before making commences to clarify that the map found and the heart’s positioning is correct.
And I’d be more than happy to gift wrap your order on request.
