Description
This plaque is made in the style of a classic street sign, with Privet Drive picked out in raised gold capitals across a black face and The Cupboard Under the Stairs lettered in white along the top. Tiny white stars are scattered over the black, as if the night sky had settled on the sign, and a gold border frames the whole sign, notched corners and all. The sign has a metallic effect finish that catches the light, so the gold lettering stands out against the black from across a room. The face measures 38.6cm by 9.6cm, a long, slim shape that reads like the real thing, and at only 0.6cm deep it sits close and neat.
It is a lovely piece for a child's bedroom, suited to young readers from three to twelve, and it looks just as at home on a teenager's wall. We also think it makes a fun gift for Mum or Dad, especially the ones who read the stories aloud at bedtime and still know the address by heart. Place it above a bookcase, beside a reading chair, on a study wall or over the door of a hallway cupboard, and anyone who remembers who once slept under the stairs will smile on their way past.
The raised gold capitals give the lettering real depth, while the slim 0.6cm profile keeps the sign sitting close to the wall. Its long, rectangular shape fits neatly into narrow spaces, such as the strip of wall above a door frame or over a headboard. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, and avoid soaking it or using harsh cleaners on the metallic effect finish. As a gift, it pairs nicely with a favourite paperback and a mug of hot chocolate, and it turns a reading nook into a little corner of a well known street.
