Bread & Wheat Quote Copper Backsplash

Bread & Wheat Quote Copper Backsplash — Hand-Hammered Custom Kitchen Motto Wall Art

Bread, wheat, and falling hearts — and the words that belong in the kitchen where someone actually cooks. The default quote is “The Secret Ingredient is Always Love” — the most universally recognized kitchen motto in the English language. But the words are yours: your family’s motto, your grandmother’s recipe note, the phrase that has been said in your kitchen so many times it has become the identity of the room. In copper relief, the words last as long as the kitchen does.

A hand-hammered copper backsplash and wall art piece of bread, wheat sheaves, and falling hearts with your chosen quote in raised relief — the text centered in the composition, the wheat framing the words, the hearts completing the warmth of the scene — built up from a flat copper sheet one hammer stroke at a time by our family using traditional chasing and repoussé techniques passed through generations. The bread, the wheat, the hearts, and the words are the composition: the kitchen as the subject, the quote as the identity, the copper as the material that makes both permanent. Available in all 15 finishes. Over 10,000 pieces made.

Bread and wheat are the oldest cultivated foods in human history — wheat (Triticum aestivum) has been cultivated for approximately 10,000 years, since the Neolithic revolution in the Fertile Crescent. The wheat sheaf — the garbe — is the most widely used symbol of harvest, abundance, and the domestic life of the agricultural home in the decorative arts of every culture that has grown it: on the carved stone lintels of the medieval English farmhouse, on the painted furniture of the Pennsylvania Dutch tradition, on the faience pottery of Provence, on the printed cotton of the American country kitchen. The falling hearts add the dimension that the wheat alone does not carry: the love that is the invisible ingredient in every meal that is made with care. This panel puts both on the wall — the wheat and the love, the harvest and the warmth, the words that say what the kitchen means.

What You Can Put on This Panel

The quote is fully customizable at no extra charge:

• The default quote — “The Secret Ingredient is Always Love” — order as shown
• Your own quote — a family motto, a kitchen saying, a recipe note, a scripture verse, a line from a poem — any text that belongs in your kitchen
• Your family name — “The [Family Name] Kitchen” — the most direct and most kitchen-specific family name sign in the catalog
• A short phrase in any language — English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, or any language you cook in
• No text — the bread, wheat, and hearts as a pure kitchen composition, no words
