Cypress Tree Copper Panel

Cypress Tree Copper Panel — Hand-Hammered Italian Tuscan & Mediterranean Wall Art

Van Gogh painted the cypress obsessively in the last two years of his life. He called it ‘as beautiful in line and proportion as an Egyptian obelisk.’ He painted it in ‘The Starry Night.’ He painted it in ‘Wheat Field with Cypresses.’ He painted it over and over. He understood something.

A copper wall panel of the Cypress — the narrow columnar form, the dark green scale-like foliage, the vertical exclamation point against the Mediterranean sky of the most architecturally precise and most immediately iconic tree of the Italian and Mediterranean landscape — hand-hammered in real copper sheet by our family using traditional chasing and repoussé techniques passed through generations. The narrow columnar form and the dark green scale-like foliage are the composition: that distinctive narrow columnar silhouette rendered in dimensional metalwork, the dense dark foliage and vertical form built up in fine relief, the ancient authority of a tree that has been standing in Mediterranean landscapes for 3,000 years and has never needed to be anything other than exactly what it is. In Green Copper or Black Copper, the deep dark-green tones echo the real foliage. Every scale of bark, every vertical line, every detail a separate hammer stroke, thousands of them. Over 10,000 pieces made.

The Italian Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) has been a defining element of the Mediterranean landscape for over 3,000 years — planted by the ancient Greeks, the Romans, and every civilization that followed. In ancient Greek and Roman tradition, the cypress was sacred to the gods of the underworld — it was planted in cemeteries and sacred groves as a symbol of eternity and mourning. The cypress-lined roads of Tuscany — the viali di cipressi — are one of the most iconic landscape features in the world. The wood of the cypress is highly aromatic and extremely durable — the doors of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome were made from cypress wood and lasted over 1,100 years. Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo: “The cypresses are always occupying my thoughts… it is as beautiful in line and proportion as an Egyptian obelisk.” The most architecturally pure, most artistically celebrated, and most eternally symbolic tree in the Mediterranean world.

Complete the Look

A copper panel above your fireplace. The Cypress, larger, columnar form spanning above the mantel in Green Copper. The most architecturally pure and most eternally symbolic focal point in the Mediterranean tree range — the tree that Van Gogh called ‘as beautiful in line and proportion as an Egyptian obelisk,’ at full scale in copper, above the fire.

A Tuscan viale di cipressi composition. The cypress-lined road of Tuscany — the avenue of cypresses receding into the Tuscan hills — in Green Copper or Black Copper. The most geographically specific and most romantically complete Italian landscape panel in the catalog. Above the main wall of the home or dining room that carries that aesthetic and that dream.

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

A living room or dining room panel. A coordinated Mediterranean landscape scene — an olive, a stone pine, a lavender field — in the same finish as the Cypress. The home with a consistent visual language of the Italian landscape and the Mediterranean garden tradition.
