If our returning vistors are confused by the names of our fingerplates, let us explain.
Something had to change.
We were constantly being asked - rightly, we think - whether our long used names for our fingerplates rigidly defined the decors they were intended to suit. We replied simply: "Of course not..."
"Yes. You CAN use the No. 1 Victorian in an Art Deco home" "No, the No. 2 Edwardian CAN be successfully applied in a strictly Victorian decor" "Why yes - you can chrome plate the No. 3 Art Nouveau for a modern development"
After many years of calling our fingerplates by generic periods, we learned that this confused rather than educated our customers.
So, to alleviate any potential confusion, we have decided to take the grand step and rechristen them to reflect their elegant background rather than link them to a specific period. You might notice that we have adopted the most "aristocratic" names. Ones which we feel reflect the "personalities" of the designs. This way, there is no pretext as to the period to which they belong - each design will suit depending upon its inherent design elements. For instance, the symmetry and structure of a Viscount fingerplate, versus the flowing lines of the Duchess; the strong tradition of a Sovereign fingerplate, versus the figural design of a Princess and her doves.
But we must hasten to add; although the names have changed, rest assured that each fingerplate we make today is still lavished with the same care and attention as any fingerplates we have made in the past.
After all, your home deserves no less.
