Copper Sink Apron Panel — Scottish Thistle — Hand-Hammered
The Scottish thistle — the national flower of Scotland, the symbol of resilience and pride — hand-hammered in raised copper relief on the face of your sink apron. The apron front of a farmhouse sink is one of the most visible surfaces in the kitchen: it faces the room, faces the guests, faces everyone who walks in. This panel turns that surface into a statement. The thistle, in copper, on the sink that anchors the kitchen. The finish is your choice from all 15 options.
Hand-hammered from flat copper sheet in our family workshop using traditional chasing and repoussé techniques passed through generations. The thistle — bloom, spines, stem — formed by hand in raised relief, made to the exact dimensions of your sink apron front. Available in all 15 finishes. Over 10,000 pieces made and installed.
Any Sink. Any Size. Any Finish.
We make apron panels for every farmhouse and apron-front sink configuration. The size options above cover the most common apron dimensions — but these are starting points, not limits. Send us your sink’s apron dimensions and we’ll make it to fit exactly.
- Farmhouse / apron-front sink — single bowl, double bowl, any width
- Kitchen island sink — the apron panel visible from the living room
- Laundry room sink — utility sink apron panel
- Outdoor kitchen sink — weather resistant, suitable for covered outdoor installations
- Bathroom vanity — vessel sink surround, vanity front panel
We can also create design variations — a thistle with a border, a repeating thistle pattern across a wider apron, a thistle paired with other Scottish symbols. Tell us your sink and we’ll design for it.
Make It Yours
- Choose your finish — Natural Copper for a warm luminous version · Copper–Black Details for a bold graphic heraldic look · Silver–Copper for a contemporary two-tone version · Antique Gold for a regal heritage finish · Green Copper for an aged ancient quality · or any of the 15 finishes
- Add a family name, clan name, or Scottish phrase — worked into the apron in copper relief alongside the thistle — a surname, a motto, Alba gu bràth, or any phrase that belongs to your heritage
- Add a thistle border — the thistle motif repeating across the full width of the apron as a continuous pattern
- Combine with other Scottish symbols — the Lion Rampant, Celtic knotwork, a tartan-inspired border — a panel that carries your full heritage
- Coordinate with the backsplash — the same thistle design on the sink wall backsplash above, the apron below — one finish, one design language, the whole sink wall unified

Custom Sizes & Layouts
Custom Sizes & Layouts
Every backsplash is made specifically for your kitchen.
Order a single backsplash behind the stove, matching side panels beneath your cabinets, or a complete kitchen backsplash designed for your full layout.
Outlets, switches, pot fillers, windows, vents, and other cutouts can usually be incorporated into the design.
If your exact size is not listed, simply send us your approximate width × height after ordering. We usually add custom sizes quickly.
For the best fit, measure the finished opening and subtract approximately ⅛ inch from each side. This small installation allowance is normally unnoticeable and helps create an easier installation and professional result.
