Flowering Plum Tree Copper Panel

Flowering Plum Tree Copper Panel — Hand-Hammered Chinese Botanical & Garden Wall Art

The plum blossom is the national flower of China. It blooms in late winter — sometimes in snow — before any leaves appear. In Chinese poetry and painting, it represents perseverance, hope, and the beauty that comes before spring. The Flowering Plum has been inspiring artists for 3,000 years.

A copper wall panel of the Flowering Plum — the deep burgundy-purple foliage, the delicate pink spring blossoms, the compact rounded form of the most dramatically colored and most visually striking of the ornamental landscape trees — hand-hammered in real copper sheet by our family using traditional chasing and repoussé techniques passed through generations. The deep burgundy foliage and the delicate pink blossoms are the composition: those dark purple-burgundy leaves rendered in dimensional metalwork, the delicate pink flowers and compact rounded form built up in fine relief, the quiet defiance of a tree that blooms in snow before any other tree has woken up, and carries deep burgundy foliage through every season that follows. In Black Copper or Fire Copper, the deep burgundy-purple tones echo the foliage — the most dramatically precise finish pairing in the ornamental tree range. Every petal, every leaf, every detail a separate hammer stroke, thousands of them. Over 10,000 pieces made.

The Purple Leaf Plum (Prunus cerasifera ‘Atropurpurea’ and related cultivars) is one of the most widely planted ornamental trees in North America — valued for its year-round deep burgundy foliage, its early spring pink blossoms, and its compact size. It blooms in late winter or early spring — often before any other tree — with delicate pink or white flowers that appear on bare dark branches. The plum blossom (méihuā) is the national flower of China and one of the most important symbols in Chinese art, poetry, and philosophy — representing perseverance, hope, and the beauty that emerges from adversity. In Japanese culture, the plum blossom (ume) is celebrated at Plum Blossom Festivals (Ume Matsuri) held across Japan in February and March. The most widely planted, most culturally resonant, and most dramatically foliaged ornamental tree in the temperate garden.

Complete the Look

A copper panel above your fireplace. The Flowering Plum, larger, blossoms spanning above the mantel in Black Copper. The most dramatically contrasting and most seasonally defiant focal point in the ornamental tree range — the tree that blooms in snow before any other tree has woken up, at full scale in copper, above the fire.

A Chinese méihuā composition. The plum blossom — the national flower of China, the symbol of perseverance and hope — in a full Chinese composition with classical calligraphy or poetry, in Black Copper or Fire Copper. The most culturally specific and most artistically resonant East Asian panel in the catalog. Above the main wall of the home or study that carries that heritage.

Your family name in copper. Not a sign — a designed panel. Your surname hand-hammered in relief, with the Flowering Plum as the central subject, 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 living room or dining room panel. A coordinated East Asian botanical scene — a cherry blossom, a bamboo, a pine — in the same finish as the Flowering Plum. The home with a consistent visual language of the East Asian garden and the flowering tree tradition.
