Commemorative Plaques

Lumley designs is certainly one company that can be commended for flying the flag for British design. All commemorative plaques including the Blue plaques are designed and handmade illustrating our customers detailed instructions applying traditional methods by Robin Lumley. Our range of commemorative and Historical Blue plaques embellish many landmark destinations and Cities across Great Britain.


Commemorative plaques have been custom made for many organisations in terms of content and copy, key information names, dates and quotes, in many colour variations, exhibiting extravagant detailed art work and decorative motifs. Hand set with time and care spelling each personalised bespoke design, display projecting styled wording, sculptured art work and motifs, very challenging but rewarding to achieve. Skilled pattern-making and wood carving methods are just two elements of design required to produce the commemorative plaques as well as a good eye for detail and inventiveness. Intricate detailed artwork is first sculptured placed, cast onto the commemorative plaques at our local foundry here in Wolverhampton, painted and finally finished by hand. Commemorative plaques are just a small portion of pattern-work produced by Lumley Designs, large scale architectural pattern-work commissioned by councils and corporations, completed by us can also be found across Great Britain and World wide.
