hammered copper
Dented decorative metalwork
Hammered copper is copper that has been shaped and textured by repeated blows with a hammer or mallet, creating a distinctive dimpled or faceted surface.
The technique is both functional and decorative, used for cookware, sinks, jewelry, and architectural elements.
The irregular surface catches light at varied angles: a hammered copper pendant, hammered copper pots hanging in the kitchen.
