This hollow, wall-mounted architectural sculpture is entirely handmade from solid copper and is designed to enhance a fireplace or act as a striking standalone wall feature.

🎨 Composition & Technique

This exquisite piece is a testament to traditional British metalwork. Handmade in the UK during the late 20th century (circa 1970s), it represents an era of skilled revivalist design grounded in Georgian elegance.

• Material: Hand-hammered copper

• Finish: Aged with a rich, natural reddish-golden patina, displaying beautiful tones of amber, bronze, and russet, with areas of natural oxidation

• Technique: Carefully shaped by hand using historic planishing and hammering techniques, lending it warmth, tactility, and authenticity

• Details: Embellished with a decorative row of bold dome rivets—an industrial flourish rooted in historical design

• Silhouette: A gracefully flared, bell-like curve that commands attention while offering architectural softness

• Function: Decorative only – this is a hollow feature with no fan or electrics; perfect for mounting above a fireplace or displaying as wall art

• Mounting: Features two pre-cut holes at the upper back for easy wall installation (hardware not included)

This is not a kitchen extractor fan—it's a historic-inspired sculptural showpiece rich with charm and story.
