Why Copper Belongs in the Victorian House
Copper has always been part of the Victorian building. The Victorian house was built with copper — the copper roof, the copper guttering, the copper downpipe, the copper fitting, the copper warming pan beside the Victorian fireplace, the copper kettle on the Victorian range, the copper jelly mold in the Victorian kitchen. Copper has always been part of the great Victorian building — the warm metal that belongs in the period property the way the original cornice and the original fireplace belong there. The copper panel in a Victorian house is not a modern addition. It is the correct material choice for the most architecturally specific period building in the world.
Copper is the most sympathetic surface for the Victorian interior. The Victorian interior is defined by the warm, the ornate, and the historically considered — the original plasterwork, the encaustic tile, the stained glass, the dark timber, the brass fitting. Copper is the most sympathetic wall surface available for the Victorian interior — the warm metal that works beside every original feature of the period building, the material that makes the Victorian house feel as considered as the most beautifully restored period properties in the world.
Copper carries the most Victorian subjects. The Victorian decorative tradition is defined by the botanical, the heraldic, the classical, and the ornate — the acanthus leaf, the rose, the lily, the family crest, the classical urn, the peacock. Copper is the most Victorian surface available — the warm metal that can carry the most ornately specific, most historically considered, most architecturally sympathetic composition in the catalog. The copper panel in a Victorian house is the most period-sympathetic wall piece available — the surface that makes the Victorian interior feel as considered as the great Victorian decorative tradition it belongs to.
Copper develops a natural patina that is the most Victorian finish available. The Victorian aesthetic loves the aged, the patinated, the surface that has a history and a warmth. Copper develops a natural patina over time — the surface becoming more beautiful, more aged, more Victorian as the years pass. The Brown Copper and Antique Gold finishes reference the natural patina of copper in the Victorian environment — the most period-sympathetic finishes in the catalog.

"The acanthus leaf panel on the living room chimney breast and the encaustic tile pattern backsplash in the kitchen changed the entire Victorian house. Every morning in the period interior, every evening in the formal living room, the copper makes the Victorian house feel as considered as the most beautifully restored period properties in the world — the warm, period-sympathetic metal beside the original cornice and the original fireplace, the hammered surface alive in the Victorian light. The house went from a beautiful period property to the most considered one. The copper made it as Victorian as the architecture it belongs to." — Natuross customer
