Ebony Piano Finish Wall Plaque with Double-Etched Antique Plate

An ebony piano finish wall plaque with a double-etched antique plate is a wall-mounted recognition award that pairs an etched metal plate with a black piano finish wood panel. Organizations order it for years-of-service awards, retirement gifts, donor recognition and building dedications. Because the etching drops the background below the lettering, the wording stays readable from several feet away in a lobby or hallway.

Double etching removes metal around the copy so the background sits below the lettering, while a standard engraved plate only scores a thin line into the surface. The recessed background on a double-etched plate holds a dark brown to black antique tone that separates the text from the metal. That same recess accepts colorfill, which a shallow surface engraving cannot hold.

Yes. Your logo and text are etched into a single plate, and the plate comes in gold or silvertone. The etched background can stay its natural dark brown to black tone, or we can colorfill it in a color you choose, which is quoted separately. Choose the plate finish first, since gold and silvertone read very differently against the black panel.

Production runs 5 working days from artwork approval. The clock starts when you approve the proof, not when you place the order, so fast approval matters for a dated ceremony. Transit time is added on top of those 5 production days. Send us your in-hands date and we will confirm the schedule before the order runs.

Double-etched wall plaques are ordered most often for years-of-service and retirement recognition, donor and sponsor walls, building or room dedications, safety milestone awards, top sales and agent-of-the-year honors, and outgoing board or committee members. Schools, hospitals, churches, municipalities and manufacturing plants are the most frequent buyers. Pick a smaller plate for a single-name award and a larger one when the copy runs to several lines.

Wipe the piano finish panel with a dry, soft microfiber cloth, and keep liquid cleaners off the etched plate. Ammonia, bleach and abrasive polishes can lift the dark tone sitting inside the etched recess, so avoid all three. Hang the plaque indoors, out of direct sunlight and away from steam or damp walls, which can mark a gloss wood finish over time.

No safety or environmental certifications are published for this plaque. As a wall-mounted wood and metal display item, it has no food contact and is not made or tested as a children's product, so certifications such as FDA or CPSIA do not apply. If your organization needs compliance documentation for a purchase order, ask us and we will request it from the manufacturer before you buy.

Per-unit pricing is quoted by order and is not published as a fixed price. Four factors move the number: the plate size you pick from the four available, the number of plaques in the order, whether you choose a gold or silvertone plate, and whether the etched background is colorfilled, which carries an added charge. Ask for a quote with your size and quantity and we will confirm the per-plaque cost in writing.
