Openwork Plaques

Stainless steel openwork plaques for gravestones: a motif cut all the way through and an inscription of your choice, most often in sizes of 30 × 53 and 40 × 71 cm.

The stone is visible through the cut-outs, so the plaque does not cover the gravestone but forms a single composition with it. The designs include a dove in rays, a stained-glass window with a cross, a parchment scroll with a quill and ears of grain, in vertical and horizontal layouts fitted to the shape of the slab.

Size, finish and mounting

• Sizes: usually 30 × 53 cm or 40 × 71 cm; a few designs have other proportions (e.g. 30 × 39 and 40 × 52 cm, 30 × 43 and 40 × 57 cm, 30 × 51 and 40 × 68 cm). You choose the exact size on the product page.
• Finish: polished, satin, black or gold. The polished finish stands out most strongly against dark stone, while black gives the sharpest contrast on light granite.
• Mounting: on pins glued into drilled holes in the stone, or with double-sided tape, without drilling. Many designs are mounted on spacer sleeves. A plaque set off from the stone casts a shadow, which adds depth.

Inscription and choosing the format

You enter the inscription text – the abbreviation “Ś.P.”, first name, surname, dates and a saying – on the product page and can see it right away on a photo of your gravestone. If you are not sure which format to choose, send us a photo of the gravestone – we will help you choose the size and layout.

You will find smaller engraved elements among the epigraphs and engraved plaques, and full plates covering the plaque – in the category metal overlays.
