Badger Copper Panel

Badger Copper Panel — Hand-Hammered Wildlife & British Woodland Wall Art

The honey badger has been recorded fighting off lions, hyenas, and cobras. It has been stung by hundreds of bees at once and kept eating. It is listed in the Guinness World Records as the world’s most fearless animal.

A copper wall panel of the badger — the distinctive black-and-white facial stripes, the powerful claws, the low-slung powerful body of the most fearless and most tenaciously determined small predator in the Northern Hemisphere — hand-hammered in real copper sheet by our family using traditional chasing and repoussé techniques passed through generations. The bold stripes and the powerful form are the composition: those distinctive black-and-white facial stripes rendered in dimensional metalwork, the powerful claws and low-slung body built up in fine relief, the absolute refusal of an animal that has never once in its evolutionary history considered backing down. In Silver or Black Copper, the bold black-and-white tones echo the real animal. Every stripe, every detail a separate hammer stroke, thousands of them. Over 10,000 pieces made.

The European Badger (Meles meles) builds setts — underground tunnel systems — that can be used by the same family for over a century, with tunnels extending hundreds of feet. A badger can move more soil per hour than a human with a shovel. The badger is the most beloved woodland animal in British literature — Mr. Badger in The Wind in the Willows, Badger in The Chronicles of Narnia, and the badger house of Hufflepuff in Harry Potter. The Wisconsin Badger is the mascot of the University of Wisconsin — named for the lead miners of the 1820s who lived in temporary burrows during the winter. The Honey Badger (Mellivora capensis) is listed in the Guinness World Records as the world’s most fearless animal. The most tenacious, most literarily beloved, and most fearlessly confrontational small predator in the Northern Hemisphere.

Complete the Look

A copper panel above your fireplace. The badger, larger, above the mantel in Silver. The most fearlessly confrontational and most literarily beloved focal point in the woodland range — the animal that has never once considered backing down, at full scale in copper, above the fire.

Your family name in copper. Not a sign — a designed panel. Your surname hand-hammered in relief, with the badger as guardian, in the same finish as the main panel. It goes by the front door or above the entryway. Every person who enters sees it first.

A British woodland scene. The badger in a coordinated British woodland composition — a fox, a hedgehog, an owl — in the same finish. The home with a consistent visual language of the British countryside and the animals of The Wind in the Willows.

A study, library, or literary space panel. The badger above the bookcase — Mr. Badger of The Wind in the Willows, the most wise and most grounded character in British children’s literature — in Silver, on the wall of the room where books live.

If you're thinking about more than one piece: reach out before you order. We'll design everything together and give you project pricing for the full set.
