Complete your front door with this attractive, large internal letter plate from our collection of classic plates designed to suit both modern and period properties. The internal letter plate covers the hole left by a letterbox making the door more stylish and helping to cut out draughts so it is as practical as it is decorative.
Hand cast from high quality natural brass, this letter plate has a beautiful, weighty appearance and a quality that can only be achieved by traditional smithing methods. Incorporating bevelled edging and a draught excluder flap, it has the look of a vintage find. All our letter plates are available in a selection of finishes to complement our range of door furniture.
- our external letter plates are sprung so can be used vertically.
- However, our internal letter plates do not have a spring, so are not recommended for doors with vertical letterboxes.
Kindly note, brass is a natural metal and will tarnish (darken) with age. To maintain its brightness and reflective lustre, our polished brass products will need to be polished reguarly with good quality brass polish.

Polished Brass: Our Polished Brass is created by polishing the brass by hand on a wheel which gives it a beautiful reflective look. It will naturally darken and become matt over time, so to lighten it you will need to buff it regularly with brass cleaner to return it to its original hue.
