Product Story

OBRE matte black house numbers are the most versatile in the range. Black reads well against almost any background, from red brick and natural stone through to painted render and timber cladding.

The same modern sans-serif typeface used across all OBRE signage, with a durable matte black finish that resists weathering and UV fading. Each character screw-fixes individually with concealed fixings.

Numbers 0-9 and a full range of letters are available. Use alongside OBRE brass or nickel versions, or on their own for a simple, graphic statement at the front door.

Includes all fixings and a drill template. Covered by a 10-year warranty.

Note about the slate: The slate tile shown in some lifestyle photos isn’t sold by us — it’s a customer’s own piece of Welsh slate. Welsh roof slates are easy to source individually from local stone yards or online slate suppliers if you’d like to recreate the look as a DIY project.

Where it works best

Front doors and facades — a clean, modern typeface that reads well from the street
Side entrances and garage doors — individual characters let you configure any combination
Apartment and flat doors — a refined alternative to stick-on numbers
Commercial and office entrances — the contemporary design suits professional settings

How we work

Made Properly, Not Quickly

We work with a small group of specialist manufacturers who treat every piece the way it should be treated. As something worth getting right, not a commodity to churn out. Each product is carefully manufactured to exacting standards, inspected under bright light, and only cleared to ship once the quality meets our threshold.

Materials are chosen for longevity and purpose. Whether it's solid brass, brushed steel, natural marble, or hand-blown glass, we source specifically for each product line and don't cut corners on composition.

We don't hold stock. Every order is made specifically for you, in the finish and size you've chosen, by people who know it's going somewhere it'll be looked at every day. It's why our lead times are measured in weeks rather than days, and it's why nothing in your order has been sitting in a warehouse waiting to be shifted.

Up to 10-year warranty* on hardware

5 Stars OLD SCHOOL SHOPPING AT ITS BEST So, you want some house numbers. You gasp at the price!. . £18 per number for the outside of your house £18!!! Not my usual purchase zone not my penny platform. Okay I am past it, honestly, £18 per number. What did my £36 buy me? Was it worth it? Would I go there again?. . YES YES YES! So, I couldnt have my order the next day. I couldnt have my order the next week of next couple of weeks and its COOL! My numbers werent mass produced and didnt arrive in one of thousands of containers on the back of a mega ship from China. I had to wait because I mattered, me, a genuine individual, I mattered I had to wait because someone, for a mere £18 per number, made brass numbers just for me. Just to recap brass numbers, not shiny plastic, not easy to break brittle alloy, real brass, quality brass numbers. Thank goodness for old school shopping, reaffirming the individual, keeping alive the genuine experience of quality shopping. Thanks for reading.
