Italian Gondola Copper Backsplash

Italian Gondola Copper Backsplash — Hand-Hammered Venetian Kitchen Wall Art

A gondola on the canal, the gondolier’s silhouette, the arch of a Venetian bridge — the entire scene hand-hammered into copper in full dimensional relief. The kind of thing you’d find in a Venetian palazzo — on your kitchen wall, made to your exact dimensions, in your chosen finish. There are kitchens that feel like any other kitchen. And then there is a kitchen with a gondola on the canal behind the stove.

Hand-hammered from flat copper sheet in our family workshop using traditional chasing and repoussé techniques passed through generations. The gondola, the gondolier, the bridge, the water — every element formed by hand, the depth of the relief making the scene catch light differently as you move through the kitchen. Made to your exact wall dimensions. Available in all 15 finishes. Over 10,000 pieces made and installed.

Choose Your Finish

The same gondola scene reads very differently depending on the finish. A few directions:

• Natural Copper — warm, luminous, the scene glowing in single-tone copper — the most Venetian-feeling version
• Copper–Black Details — the scene drawn in black on a copper ground, like an etching — old-master, painterly quality
• Brown Copper — aged, Tuscan, the patina of copper that has lived in Italy for generations
• Silver–Copper Details — two-tone, contemporary — warm copper scene against a cool silver ground
• Antique Gold — regal, warm brass — the scene in aged gold, suited to traditional and Mediterranean kitchens

All 15 finishes available. Note your preference at checkout or ask via live chat — we’ll confirm before production begins.

Make It Yours

• Extend the scene — the canal continuing left and right across a wider wall, additional gondolas, a second bridge, the suggestion of the Grand Canal at dusk
• Add a family name or Italian phrase — worked into the composition in copper relief — La Famiglia, Benvenuti, or any phrase that belongs to your kitchen
• Change the scene — the Amalfi Coast, a Tuscan vineyard, the Colosseum, a Sicilian fishing village — any Italian landscape that belongs on this wall
