Copper Relief Art & Handcrafted Panels for Craftsman Homes
The Craftsman home is the American Arts & Crafts house — the bungalow, the foursquare, the prairie-influenced home that Greene & Greene and Gustav Stickley built around the same values William Morris championed in England: honest materials, visible craft, and the handmade object in the handmade house. Copper was part of that tradition from the beginning — the copper hardware, the copper light fixture, the warm metal that the Craftsman interior used to bring warmth and honesty to every surface. A Natuross copper relief panel in a Craftsman home is the continuation of that tradition — the handmade surface in the house built to honor the handmade.
Natuross makes hand-hammered copper relief panels for every architectural surface in the Craftsman home — fireplace surrounds, inglenook panels, kitchen walls, range hoods, built-in bookcase backs, staircase panels, bathroom surfaces, front porch columns, garden walls, and more. Made to your exact dimensions. Suitable for indoor and outdoor spaces and wet areas. Ready to install, easy to clean, and built to last. Over 10,000 pieces installed in homes across the US. See every room and surface on the Rooms & Spaces page.
The Craftsman Fireplace & Inglenook
The inglenook fireplace is the heart of the Craftsman home — the warm, sheltered hearth flanked by built-in benches and bookshelves. A stylized botanical surround in raised copper relief — the pinecone, the ginkgo leaf, the prairie rose, the geometric botanical — around the firebox opening. A fireback panel inside the firebox. A continuous botanical or geometric frieze above the mantel shelf. Most Craftsman fireplace orders include the surround, the fireback, and the overmantel panel as a complete set — the three surfaces that make the Craftsman inglenook the most considered feature in the home.
The Craftsman Kitchen
The full-wall copper relief panel behind the range — counter to cabinet, wall to wall — in a stylized botanical or geometric composition. A pinecone and branch field. A ginkgo leaf arrangement. A prairie rose composition at the scale of the entire kitchen wall. The Craftsman kitchen backsplash is the warm, handmade surface that belongs beside the quarter-sawn oak cabinetry, the farmhouse sink, and the original tile floor. A range hood surround in the same design completes the set.
Built-In Bookcase Backs & Staircase
The built-in bookcase is one of the most Craftsman-specific architectural features — and a copper relief panel set into the back of the bookcase is the most Craftsman-specific Natuross installation. A geometric botanical composition behind the books, warm in the lamplight. A staircase wall panel rising from the entry to the upper floor in a continuous botanical vine or geometric frieze. The Craftsman staircase and bookcase are where copper relief art is most quietly and most characterfully at home.
Front Porch & Garden
A front porch column panel in a botanical or geometric composition. A garden wall relief panel. A gate panel. A house name and number sign beside the front door in Arts & Crafts letterforms. Copper with protective lacquer holds its finish outdoors for years. See the Garden Wall page for more.
Craftsman Signs & Plaques
The house name or number in Arts & Crafts letterforms — the most Craftsman-specific sign in the catalog. A family name plaque surrounded by a botanical border. A founding year. Every sign made with any text, any font, any finish. See all sign types on the Copper Signs & Plaques page.

For Interior Designers & Architects
Craftsman restoration projects reward the designer who understands the American Arts & Crafts tradition — the honest material, the botanical subject, the geometric composition, the handmade surface.

No intermediaries.
Finishes
Natural Copper is the most Craftsman-authentic finish — the honest, warm metal that the movement championed, the surface that shows the hand and hides nothing. Brown Copper adds the aged warmth of a surface that has lived in the bungalow for a century. Green Copper references the natural patina that Craftsman metalwork was often left to develop outdoors. Antique Gold suits Craftsman interiors with a more formal dining room or library character. Browse all 15 finishes.

"The pinecone surround, the botanical fireback, and the ginkgo overmantel panel in Natural Copper — all three for the inglenook. The copper sits beside the quarter-sawn oak and the original tile as if Stickley himself had specified it. Our bungalow was built in 1912. The copper looks like it has been here since opening day." — Natuross customer
