$285.00
A breathtaking hand-hammered copper wall plate with an organically crimped rim and richly textured surface, bearing the unmistakable marks of individual hand-forming — no two hammer strikes identical, no surface perfectly flat. The natural patina sweeps across the face in warm copper, molten amber, rose gold, and deeper oxidized tones, creating a living, luminous surface that shifts beautifully with the light. Raw, honest, and completely beautiful. Ready to hang.

Time Period: c. Mid–Late 20th century

Origin: Mexico (consistent with Santa Clara del Cobre, Michoacán), Morocco, or Turkey — all major hand-copper traditions

Design Style: Folk / Artisanal Metalwork / Global Bohemian

Condition: Very good — patina rich and consistent; no dents or structural damage; organic variation in form is intrinsic to the handmade nature of this piece

Provenance: Hand-hammered copper has been central to folk metalworking traditions across Mexico, Morocco, and the Middle East for centuries. Santa Clara del Cobre in Michoacán, Mexico — a town whose entire economy is built around copper smithing — produces objects of this quality and character, as do the copper souks of Marrakech and the artisan workshops of Istanbul. The organic crimped rim and fully hand-formed surface distinguish this as a genuine artisan object rather than a production piece, commanding lasting value among collectors of folk and global craft.
