Accessories Collection
Brass Plaque
A small brass plaque, five inches by two, from Oxford Garden's accessories line. It is the fitting used to mark a dedicated bench or to tag a piece in a park, a campus or a memorial garden.
- Five inches by two. A tenth of an inch thick and a tenth of a pound. Small enough to sit on a bench back rail or a leg without dominating it.
- Brass, not plated steel. Brass tones down outdoors instead of rusting through, which is why it is the traditional material for an outdoor dedication plate.
- An Oxford Garden catalog item. Item BP, so it is ordered the same way as any other part.
- Sold on its own. It is a plaque, not a bench package. Fixings and any lettering are arranged separately.

Care and Maintenance
Brass. Wipe with a soft cloth. A proprietary brass polish will restore the shine; leaving it alone will let it tone down to a dark honey patina. Keep abrasives off it, which will scratch the face.
Fixings. If you are mounting it on teak, use brass or stainless screws. Plain steel will rust and stain the wood beneath it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it come engraved?
No. Item BP is a plain brass plaque, so we do not sell it engraved. If you need lettering, an engraver will take a plate this size, or call us and we will ask Oxford Garden what is currently possible.
What size lettering fits on it?
The plate is 5 inches wide by 2 inches high. In practice that carries two or three short lines, which is enough for a name and a pair of dates. An engraver will confirm against your exact wording.
Which bench does it go on?
It is a general accessory rather than made for one bench. It suits any teak bench with a flat back rail or a wide leg face. Oxford Garden also builds a Signature Series bench with a panel designed for direct engraving, which is a different approach to the same job.
How is it fixed on?
Fixings are not part of the item. On teak, small brass or stainless screws are the usual answer, because a steel screw will bleed a rust line down the wood within a season.
Will it stay shiny?
No, not outdoors. Brass darkens as it develops a patina. A brass polish will bring the shine back whenever you want it; left alone it tones down and stops drawing the eye, which many people prefer on a memorial piece.
How is it delivered?
By parcel carrier. It ships in a 6 by 4 by 1 inch carton at 1 lb.
Can I order more than one?
Yes. It is sold per plaque, so quantity is just a matter of how many you add.
