We can put names on your chair. It depends on what text you want, where you want it, and how you want it to look. We can put names, dates, and other text on the front of the chair’s crown (or headboard), but this can be complicated by limited space and your preference of color and font. It requires careful thought and planning. We will ask you to phone us and discuss what you want.
Typically, we advise customers to consider being faithful to the institution being represented by the chair and to put only the logo or seal in the most prominent position – the front of the crown. We would, then, add personalized information (text, names, and dates) on the rear of the chair via a metal plaque (silver or gold plate). We choose the color of the plate to match any gold or silver components on the chair – such as gold or silver hand-striping (accents).
Regarding a brass plate, we do this frequently. A personalized brass or silver plate can greatly enhance a personal gift chair. We normally make a shiny gold plate or a shiny silver plate with black font in any reasonable number of lines on a size of plate that fits the chair appropriately. We prefer that our customers create the desired content (text) in their preferred font with all of the proper editing necessary (in PDF format). We can transfer that text to the plate perfectly with no misspellings or errors – exactly as you present it to us. We can also add your company or institution logo as space allows.
Some folks have requested a brass plate on the front of their chair, but we always advise against that because of the potential of snagging and damaging clothing on the corners of the plaque.
