Cast Brass vs Engraved brass. What is the difference?

A cast brass plaque is made from a mould that is created from a "Master Pattern”. The process dates back over 2000 years and is the correct way to produce a quality piece using old English Brass. The result is a plaque with high relief lettering and giving a fine yellow lustre finish that will last thousands of years.
Painted backgrounds on plaques really do enhance the appearance when first un-veiled, although any paint finish exposed to all weathers, will deteriorate with time.

  Engraved brass is of a lower quality brass; (less copper content) it is rolled into thin sheet and cut into the surface to a small depth to produce the lettering. The colour of the lustre is often less yellow than cast brass, and in some cases not even brass. The thin property of this sort of metal also renders it less able to withstand long periods of outside weather.
