Gazelle Copper Panel

Gazelle Copper Panel — Hand-Hammered African & Wildlife Wall Art

The most written-about animal in Arabic poetry. For three thousand years, the gazelle has meant beauty.

A copper wall panel of the gazelle — the lyre-shaped horns, the slender legs, the alert posture of the most poetically celebrated animal in human literature — hand-hammered in real copper sheet by our family using traditional chasing and repoussé techniques passed through generations. The horns and the slender form are the composition: those lyre-shaped horns rendered in dimensional metalwork, the delicate legs and alert neck built up in fine relief, the posture of an animal that is always ready to move and always beautiful doing it. In Natural Copper or Gold/Brass, the warm tawny tones echo the real animal. Every curve, every detail a separate hammer stroke, thousands of them. Over 10,000 pieces made.

The gazelle can run at 60 miles per hour and sustain 40mph for miles. When threatened, it pronks — leaping straight up with all four legs stiff, a display that signals to predators: I am fit, I am fast, chase someone else. In Arabic poetry from the pre-Islamic era through the classical age, the gazelle is the supreme metaphor for the beloved — the eyes of the gazelle, the neck of the gazelle, the grace of the gazelle. The word ghazal — the poetic form — shares its root with the Arabic word for gazelle. The most graceful animal in the African and Arabian landscape — and the one that has inspired more poetry than any other.

Your family name in copper. Not a sign — a designed panel. Your surname hand-hammered in relief, surrounded by gazelle, acacia, and savanna motifs, 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, dining room, or office panel. The gazelle above the main wall — the most refined and poetically charged animal in the catalog, in the room where elegance matters most.

• Wildlife enthusiast, safari lover, or African gift — the most graceful antelope on the savanna — for the person who has watched a gazelle pronk and understood immediately why poets wrote about it
• Elegant or refined interior — the most slender, most refined silhouette in the African range — the panel that brings grace to the wall the way the gazelle brings grace to the savanna
