Lake House Copper Sign

Lake House Copper Sign — Hand-Hammered Cabin & Lake Home Wall Art & Welcome Sign

Pine trees, mountains, a canoe on the water, birds in flight — the lake house scene in copper relief. Not a kitchen subject, not a botanical motif, not a heraldic symbol — the scene of the place itself: the lake, the trees, the boat, the birds, the silence of the water in the morning. The copper sign that says, at the door of the lake house: this is the place we come to when we need to remember what matters.

A hand-hammered copper sign and wall art piece of a lakeside scene with pine trees, mountains, a canoe, and flying birds in raised relief — the lake centered in the composition, the pine trees rising on either side, the mountains completing the background, the canoe on the water, the birds in flight above — built up from a flat copper sheet one hammer stroke at a time by our family using traditional chasing and repoussé techniques passed through generations. The lake, the pines, the mountains, the canoe, the birds, and the copper field are the composition: the scene of the place as the subject, the warm metal as the material that makes it permanent. Available in all 15 finishes. Over 10,000 pieces made.

The lake house — the cabin on the water, the retreat from the city, the place where the family gathers in summer and the loon calls in the evening — is one of the most specifically American domestic traditions. The lakes of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Maine, the Adirondacks, the Ozarks, the Pacific Northwest — each with their own character, their own light, their own particular silence. The canoe — the most specifically North American watercraft, developed by the Indigenous peoples of the continent over thousands of years and adopted by the French voyageurs of the fur trade, the Adirondack guides of the 19th century, and the American wilderness tradition — is the most specifically lake-life object in the catalog. The pine tree — the white pine, the red pine, the jack pine of the northern lake country — is the defining tree of the American lake landscape. In copper, the lake house scene becomes the most atmospherically complete and most specifically American lake-life wall art in the catalog.

What You Can Personalize

Every panel is personalized at no extra charge:

• Lake house name — “Loon Lake”, “The Smith Retreat”, “Cabin on the Lake” — worked into the composition below the scene
• Family name — “The [Family Name] Lake House” — the most direct lake house welcome sign in the catalog
• Established year — the year the family first came to the lake — below the name or worked into the scene
• Lake name — the name of the specific lake — worked into the water or the border
• Without text — the lake house scene as a pure landscape art piece, no words
