What is the engraving actually like?
On timber we cut through the mount so the frame behind shows through as the silhouette. On metal and stone the profile is cut 0.1–0.2 mm into the surface. In every case it is a solid shape, not a printed photograph — that is why it will still look right in thirty years.
Will the engraving fade?
No. There is no ink and no pigment — it is removed material. Timber will darken slightly with light over the first year, which usually makes the contrast stronger rather than weaker.
Do the pieces come with a guarantee?
Every piece carries a five-year guarantee against the engraving, the joinery and the hardware. If something fails we replace it.
