Engraving

Our engraving service allows you to add a personal touch to your purchase, transforming everyday items into meaningful keepsakes or professional branded pieces. Simply choose your engraving text, and our skilled engravers will ensure a clean, precise finish on your selected item. Perfect for gifts, awards, or business use, engraving adds lasting value and makes each piece uniquely yours.

We offer two main types of engraving: base engraving & plaque engraving.

Base engraving is specific to our selection of MOVA Globes where our engravers can add a personalised message directly to the display stand the globes sit on. Normally this is on the curved edge but this can be added to the bottom of the stand aswell.

Plaque engraving is our most popular option where our engraver adds a message to a plaque which can then be placed onto your item. Our Claude Dozorme range is ideal for plaque engraving as they can be added to the champagne sabre stands or within the cutlery presentation boxes.

Each item is hand engraved using our loyal engraver who has been operating for over 20 years.
