Cast Metal Star Perpetual Plaque On American Walnut

A cast metal star perpetual plaque is a single wall award that records a series of honorees rather than one recipient. The gold plated star sits at the top of the board, and the black brass plate below it holds engraved names that build up one recognition cycle at a time. Organizations mount the fixture permanently in a lobby or hallway so the award doubles as a public history of the program.

A perpetual plaque keeps every honoree on one 11 by 15 inch fixture, while individual awards send a separate piece home with each winner. Programs that want a visible running record choose the perpetual format and pay engraving on each added plate instead of buying a complete award every cycle. Some programs run both, hanging the perpetual board on the wall and handing the winner a smaller keepsake.

The Cast Metal Star Perpetual Plaque On American Walnut measures 11 inches by 15 inches, and that is the only size offered in this style. The walnut board carries a cast metal star in a gold plated finish with a black brass plate mounted beneath it. The star, the board and the plate arrive assembled as one piece.

The award combines a cast metal star with gold plating, an American walnut board and a black brass plate. Walnut is a natural wood, so grain pattern and tone vary slightly from board to board. The piece is a wall display item and carries no food contact or child safety rating, so keep it mounted rather than handled by children.

Yes. Laser engraving is the decoration method for this plaque, and it covers both the header plate and the perpetual plates. The header plate arrives decorated, while the perpetual plates arrive blank and attached so names go on as honorees are named. Personalized perpetual plates carry an additional setup charge and a run charge per plate.

The minimum order is one plaque, so a single department, school or club can buy just the fixture it needs. Order more than one board when a program recognizes separate categories, such as one award for sales and another for service.

Production runs 5 working days from artwork approval, not from the date the order is placed. Approve the engraving proof early, because the production clock starts only at that approval. Transit time is added on top of the 5 working days, so build shipping into any ceremony deadline.

Perpetual plaques fit any award that names one winner per cycle: employee of the year, safety record milestones, volunteer of the year, scholarship honor rolls, tournament champions and service anniversary lists. Lobbies, break rooms, gyms and meeting rooms are the usual mounting spots because staff and visitors pass them daily. Programs that name a winner monthly fill plates faster and reorder engraving more often than annual programs do.

Pricing for the Cast Metal Star Perpetual Plaque On American Walnut is quoted per order, since no published price breaks are listed for this style. Board quantity is the largest factor, and the per unit cost falls as the number of boards rises. Personalized perpetual plates add a setup charge plus a run charge for every plate engraved, so the number of names affects the total as much as the board count does.

Dust the walnut board and the gold plated star with a dry, soft cloth. Skip household sprays and metal polish, because solvents can dull the plating and mark the engraved plate. Hang the plaque away from direct sunlight and damp walls, since both age natural wood faster.
