Sculptured Plaques
Sculptured Plaques
The sculptured plaque range is the largest and most distinctive in the collection, featuring 30 designs with hand-crafted three-dimensional scenes that bring each memorial to life. From Australian bushland landscapes and country churches to sailing ships, dolphins, praying hands, and fly fishermen, each sculptured scene reflects a passion, place, or belief that mattered to the person being remembered.
Available in three sizes (large 559 x 305mm, medium 380 x 280mm, and the free-form Design 59), these plaques come in a range of background colours including traditional dark brown, striking blue, rich maroon, and distinctive green. Decorative borders such as Celtic knot, laurel leaf, rope, chain-link, and vine patterns frame each design, and all borders can be interchanged across the range on request.
Two designs include ceramic photo inserts for a personal portrait, and several feature double inscriptions with detachable plates. Also see our sculptured motifs and plaque borders pages for more about the customisation options available.
Choosing the right sculptured plaque
With 30 designs across three size series and a wide range of sculptured scenes, this is the largest category in the collection. A few key decisions will help narrow down the right design.
The first is size. The 38-series plaques measure 559 x 305mm and offer the largest canvas for detailed sculpture work. The 40 and 41-series share a medium 380 x 280mm format, making them better suited to settings where a smaller plaque is needed. Many of the same scenes are available in both sizes, so you can choose the scale that fits your setting without compromising on the subject.
Background colour is another important differentiator. Most sculptured plaques use a traditional dark brown, but several are available in striking blue, rich maroon, or distinctive green. All decorative borders can be interchanged across the range, so you can pair any scene with any border pattern.
Two designs in this range include ceramic photo inserts, and the free-form Design 59, where sculptured dolphins and waves form the entire border, stands as the most artistic piece in the collection. For scenes with a more traditional flat presentation, see the standard plaque range.
Can I choose a different border for my sculptured plaque?
Yes, all borders across the sculptured range are interchangeable. This means you can pair any sculptured scene with any border pattern, whether that is Celtic knot, laurel leaf, rope, chain-link, vine, Greek key, or another style. Simply mention your preferred border when you send your enquiry and it will be included in your quote.
What background colours are available for sculptured plaques?
While most sculptured plaques have a traditional dark brown background, a number of designs are available in blue or navy, reddish-maroon, or green. The plaque colours page shows the full range of background options. Colour can make a real difference to the overall character of the plaque, so it is worth browsing the coloured designs in this range to see what resonates.
What is the difference between the large and medium sculptured plaques?
The 38-series plaques are the large format at 559 x 305mm, offering the most space for detailed sculptured scenes and longer inscriptions. The 40 and 41-series are a medium format at 380 x 280mm, with many of the same scenes (such as sailing ships, praying hands, dolphins, and churches) available at the smaller scale. Both sizes use the same interchangeable border system.
Which sculptured plaques have a ceramic photo insert?
Two designs in this range include a circular ceramic photo insert for a personal portrait. The rose garland design features sculptured rose borders on a blue-teal background, while the grapevine design wraps grape clusters along the top edge on a dark brown background. A children’s plaque with a ceramic photo is also available in the children’s range.
