Celebrate warmth, light, and Southwestern character with this Handmade Copper Kitchen Backsplash featuring a radiant sun motif handcrafted in real copper. Inspired by traditional Southwestern and Santa Fe design, this striking backsplash transforms the area behind your stove into a welcoming focal point filled with warmth and artistic craftsmanship.
At the center of the design, a dimensional raised sun emerges from the copper surface, surrounded by flowing rays that extend gracefully across the surrounding panels. The composition creates a sense of movement and energy while maintaining a clean, balanced appearance that complements both rustic and contemporary kitchens.
The hammered copper background catches natural and artificial light throughout the day, creating subtle highlights and rich reflections that bring the design to life. The simplicity of the sun motif allows the beauty of genuine copper craftsmanship to take center stage while providing timeless appeal that will never go out of style.
Customers may order a single center panel behind the stove or a complete copper backsplash installation extending beneath surrounding cabinets. Matching copper side panels can continue across the kitchen wall to create a seamless custom backsplash system tailored specifically to the space.
Each piece is individually handcrafted using traditional repoussé and chasing techniques. The sun and flowing rays are raised directly from the copper sheet by hand, creating depth, dimension, and texture that cannot be achieved through stamping or printing. Every backsplash is made to order and possesses its own unique artisan character.
Perfect for Southwestern homes, Santa Fe interiors, desert-inspired kitchens, hacienda-style homes, ranch properties, mountain retreats, rustic kitchens, and homeowners who appreciate handcrafted metal art with timeless symbolism.
Every Natuross backsplash is handcrafted from genuine copper sheet mounted to a rigid composite backing and protected with a durable clear finish. This is real copper, not printed metal, faux copper, or manufactured imitation products. Nearly 10,000 handmade Natuross copper pieces have been created for homes throughout the United States and around the world.
Available in custom sizes and multiple finishes including Copper, Brown Patina, Green Patina, Blue Patina, Brass, Antique Brass, Silver, and specialty finishes. Final sizing and design details are confirmed before production begins.
