Bear Copper Panel

Bear Copper Panel — Hand-Hammered Wildlife & Cabin Wall Art

The bear is the only large predator that stands upright and looks you in the eye. Every culture that has ever lived alongside bears has made them gods.

A copper wall panel of the bear — the massive form, the powerful shoulders, the intelligent eyes of the most universally recognized and most mythologically charged large predator in the Northern Hemisphere — hand-hammered in real copper sheet by our family using traditional chasing and repoussé techniques passed through generations. The massive form and the powerful shoulders are the composition: that commanding body rendered in dimensional metalwork, the powerful shoulders and intelligent eyes built up in fine relief, the composed authority of an animal that has been the center of human mythology on every continent where it lives. In Natural Copper or Brown Copper, the warm dark tones echo the most iconic bear species. Every detail a separate hammer stroke, thousands of them. Over 10,000 pieces made.

The bear appears in the mythology of every culture that has ever shared its range — from the Greek goddess Artemis (who could transform into a bear) to the Norse berserkers (warriors who wore bear skins and fought with bear-like fury) to the bear clans of dozens of Native American nations. Ursa Major — the Great Bear — is the most universally recognized constellation in the Northern Hemisphere, visible from every point north of 20°S latitude. The bear is the symbol of Russia, of Berlin, of Bern (whose name means “bear”), and of the California Republic’s Bear Flag. It is the only large predator that is simultaneously feared, revered, and beloved — the animal that gave us the Teddy Bear and the berserker in the same cultural tradition. The most universally present, most mythologically charged, and most emotionally complex large predator in human history.

Which Bear Is Your Bear?

The bear panel shown is our classic design. But every bear buyer has their bear — and we can render any species in copper relief with the same hand-hammered precision.

Grizzly Bear — the hump, the dished face, the most powerful bear in the American West. The bear of Yellowstone, of Alaska, of the salmon run. The most dramatic and most commanding bear in the North American range.
Black Bear — the most common bear in North America, the bear of the Eastern forest and the Smoky Mountains. The bear that gave us the Teddy Bear. Available as a dedicated panel — see our Black Bear Copper Panel.
Polar Bear — the white bear of the Arctic, the largest land predator on earth. The bear of the sea ice and the midnight sun. Available as a dedicated panel — see our Polar Bear Copper Panel.
Brown Bear — the bear of Europe and Russia, the bear of fairy tales and folklore, the bear of the Carpathians and the Kamchatka Peninsula.
Panda — the black-and-white bear of China, the symbol of conservation worldwide. Available as a dedicated panel — see our Panda Copper Panel.

Complete the Look

A copper panel above your fireplace. The bear, larger, above the mantel. The most powerful and most mythologically resonant focal point in the wilderness range — the animal that every culture has made a god, at full scale in copper, above the fire.

Your cabin name in copper. Not a sign — a designed panel. Your cabin name hand-hammered in relief, with the bear as guardian, in the same finish as the main panel. It goes at the cabin entrance or above the front door. Every person who arrives sees it first.

A living room or dining room panel. A coordinated wilderness scene — a wolf, an eagle, a moose — in the same finish as the bear. The mountain home with a consistent visual language of the North American wilderness.

A children's room or nursery panel. The bear — the animal that gave us the Teddy Bear — at the scale of the wall, in a medium that lasts decades. The room that grows up around it.
