The "Carved Sign Tradition"

Only the best materials go into the making of our carved and gold leaf signs. Traditionally known as the finest quality sign available, they provide years of first-class brilliance, durability, and service.

Carved signs have been a New England tradition dating back to the 1650's, when inn, tavern and trade signs were held in great esteem by the community and provided distinctive landmarks for travellers as well. These signs depicted the services and hospitality offered by the innkeepers and tradesmen and were a source of pride to their owners.
