Dutch Proverb Signs: A Traditional Dutch Tradition in a Modern Jacket

If you think of a traditional Dutch tradition, you will soon come across tile wisdom with Dutch proverbs. But we have something unique for you here: modern speaking boards made of robust metal. Perfect for that special place in your man cave, shed, or workspace. Our boards with proverbs are not just any boards. While a traditional porcelain plate may make you think of grandma's living room, the metal of our plates provides a cool and modern touch. But make no mistake, each plate depicts a proverb, bringing the traditional Dutch tradition to life.

Different types of proverbs signs

Have you ever heard the expression "a gold ring on an ugly thing"? Or "run his head off"? These are just a few examples of the proverbs you will find on our boards. And what could be more fun than giving a fun gift like this? With a nod to an old proverb, but presented in a modern way. A proverb sign can be a personal joke, or a beautiful decorative piece that matches the decor. You may be wondering: how do I hang a sign like this? Don't worry, each board has holes so you can easily attach it to the wall. No hassle with glue or other conditions. Simply a nail or screw and your wall decoration is ready. The back is neatly finished, so that the sign hangs securely and will last for years.

Why choose a metal sign instead of a traditional porcelain sign?

Metal is strong and durable. It gives a robust feeling that fits perfectly in places such as a man cave. It is not a fragile porcelain plate that breaks easily. Plus, you can hang a beautiful sign anywhere, even in rooms where different conditions prevail. Are your views open to something new? Then these modern speaking boards are for you. They bring a not bad twist to a traditional form of wall decoration. And as the saying goes, “Better a good neighbor than a distant friend,” so why not introduce your neighbors to these unique pieces? Or give it as a fun gift to a friend who loves a good personal joke. With brands such as Heinen Delfts Blauw in our range, you know that you are getting quality. These plates are not only beautiful, but also tell a story. A story of tradition, humor and the Dutch way of expression. And easy to hang, because each plate has holes so they can hang perfectly on the wall.
