Mallard Copper Panel

Mallard Copper Panel — Hand-Hammered Waterfowl & Wildlife Wall Art

A copper wall panel of the mallard — the iridescent emerald green head of the drake, the chestnut breast, the blue speculum wing patch — hand-hammered in real copper sheet by our family using traditional chasing and repoussé techniques passed through generations. The emerald head is the composition: that distinctive green rendered in dimensional metalwork, the chestnut breast and wing detail built up stroke by stroke. In Green Copper finish, the patina and the drake's plumage become the same thing — the most natural finish-to-subject match in the waterfowl range. Every feather a separate hammer stroke, thousands of them. Over 10,000 pieces made.

The mallard is the most hunted waterfowl in North America — and the most painted, the most carved, the most decoy'd. Duck hunting culture in America is one of the oldest and most deeply rooted outdoor traditions in the country: the Mississippi Flyway, the Pacific Flyway, the Arkansas rice fields, the Chesapeake Bay marshes. The mallard is the duck that every American duck hunter knows first. And it's also simply the duck — the one in every park pond, the one every child has fed bread to, the one that is everywhere and never ordinary. This panel is for both of those people.

Complete the Look

A copper panel above your fireplace. The mallard, larger, wings spread above the mantel of the hunting lodge or lakeside home. The drake at full scale in Green Copper — the room's focal point that belongs to the marsh and the flyway.

Your lodge or family name in copper. Not a sign — a designed panel. Your name hand-hammered in relief, surrounded by mallard, cattail, and wetland motifs, in the same finish as the main panel. It goes at the lodge entrance or above the front door. Every person who arrives sees it first.

A dining room or great room panel. A coordinated waterfowl scene — a wood duck, a pintail, a teal — in the same finish as the mallard. The hunting lodge or lakeside home with a consistent visual language of the American flyway.

An outdoor or exterior panel. Copper is fully suited to outdoor installations. The mallard on the exterior wall of the hunting cabin, the dock house, or the blind. A panel that belongs to the marsh it came from.
