Masterplaques: The Industry’s Gold Standard

When it comes to custom wooden manufacturing, there is no substitute for experience and artistry. At Masterplaques, we have cultivated a reputation as the industry’s Gold Standard for custom-crafted government and military seals. We do not rely on mass-produced, flat-printed imitations. Instead, we combine traditional craftsmanship with precision design to create plaques that command respect. Our artisans understand that the State of West Virginia Official Seal is a historical symbol, dating back to 1863, and we treat every curve, letter, and figure with the reverence it deserves.

Exquisite Bas-Relief Craftsmanship

The defining feature of our plaques is the stunning depth and dimension achieved through our signature carving techniques. Unlike vinyl stickers or flat-painted surfaces, our plaques feature high-relief and bas-relief carving. This subtractive sculpting method allows the figures of the farmer and the miner, the central boulder, and the crossed rifles to rise from the wood, creating a dynamic texture that catches the light and draws the eye.

The details of the Great Seal—from the “June 20, 1863” inscription on the boulder to the Phrygian cap resting on the lances—are meticulously hand-painted to ensure historical accuracy and vibrancy. The motto Montani Semper Liberi (Mountaineers Are Always Free) is rendered with crystal clarity, ensuring the message resonates with every viewer.

Versatility for Walls and Podiums

Our State of West Virginia Official Seal Wooden Wall and Podium Plaques are designed for versatility. We offer these masterpieces in a variety of sizes to suit your specific spatial requirements.

• Wall Plaques: Perfect for lobbies, judge’s chambers, and executive offices, these plaques serve as a commanding focal point.

• Podium Plaques: Lighter and scaled for furniture, these are essential for press conferences, official announcements, and ceremonial events, providing an immediate visual context of official state business.

Built to Last Generations

We utilize only the finest solid mahogany and other premium woods, kiln-dried to prevent warping and cracking over time. Each plaque is finished with a high-grade clear coat that protects the hand-painted artistry from UV fading and dust, ensuring that the colors remain vivid for decades. When you choose Masterplaques, you are investing in a piece of art that will endure as long as the granite of the mountains themselves.
