Lizard Copper Panel

Lizard Copper Panel — Hand-Hammered Southwestern & Wildlife Wall Art

A copper wall panel of the lizard — the scaled body, the long tail, the alert posture of a reptile that is always in motion or perfectly still — hand-hammered in real copper sheet by our family using traditional chasing and repoussé techniques passed through generations. The scales are the composition: each scale rendered individually in dimensional metalwork, the surface texture of the lizard's body built up element by element. The lizard in copper has the most complex and tactile surface texture of any reptile subject in the catalog — a panel that rewards close attention as much as it commands from a distance. Every scale a separate hammer stroke, thousands of them. Over 10,000 pieces made.

There are over 6,000 species of lizard on earth — more than any other reptile group — and they have been here for 200 million years. The gecko walks upside down on glass using molecular attraction, no adhesive. The horned lizard shoots blood from its eyes. The Komodo dragon has venom. The chameleon changes color not to camouflage but to communicate mood. The lizard is the most diverse and surprising reptile group on earth — and the one that lives in every garden, every desert, and every warm wall in America. This panel is for the Southwestern home, the desert retreat, the reptile enthusiast, and anyone who has ever watched a lizard on a sun-warmed wall and understood that 200 million years of evolution looks exactly right.

Complete the Look

A copper panel above your fireplace. The lizard, larger, centered above the mantel of the Southwestern or desert home. The most ancient and tactile surface texture in the catalog at full scale — the room's focal point that rewards every angle.

Your family name in copper. Not a sign — a designed panel. Your surname hand-hammered in relief, surrounded by lizard, cactus, and desert 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 garden wall or outdoor panel. Copper is fully suited to outdoor installations. The lizard on the garden wall, the courtyard, or the exterior of the Southwestern home — the animal of the warm wall, on the wall it belongs to.

A dining room or living room panel. A coordinated desert or Southwestern scene — a roadrunner, a coyote, a saguaro cactus composition — in the same finish as the lizard. The desert home with a consistent visual language from room to room.
