Pelican Copper Panel

Pelican Copper Panel — Hand-Hammered Coastal & Wildlife Wall Art

A copper wall panel of the pelican — the enormous bill, the expandable throat pouch, the prehistoric silhouette that has been gliding over American coastlines for 30 million years — hand-hammered in real copper sheet by our family using traditional chasing and repoussé techniques passed through generations. The bill and pouch are the composition: that distinctive profile rendered in dimensional metalwork, immediately recognizable to anyone who has ever stood on a Gulf Coast dock or a Florida beach and watched the pelican work the water. Every curve of the pouch, every detail of the bill a separate hammer stroke, thousands of them. Over 10,000 pieces made.

The pelican glides six inches above the water, wings barely moving, reading the surface for fish with a precision that took 30 million years to develop. Louisiana's state bird. Florida's most photographed bird. The bird that was nearly wiped out by DDT in the 1970s and came back — fully, completely, on every coast where it belongs. This panel is for the Gulf Coast home, the Florida beach house, the waterfront property, and anyone who has ever watched a pelican work the water and understood that some things are exactly right.

Complete the Look

A copper panel above your fireplace. The pelican, larger, centered above the mantel of the beach house or coastal home. The coastal bird at full scale in copper — the room's focal point that brings the water inside.

Your beach house or family name in copper. Not a sign — a designed panel. Your name hand-hammered in relief, surrounded by pelicans, waves, and coastal motifs, in the same finish as the main panel. It goes by the front door or above the entryway. Every person who arrives sees it first.

A dining room or great room panel. A coordinated coastal scene — a heron, an egret, an osprey — in the same finish as the pelican. The beach house that has a consistent visual language from room to room.

An outdoor or patio panel. Copper is fully suited to outdoor installations. The pelican on the exterior wall of the beach house, the dock house, or the outdoor kitchen. A panel that belongs to the coast.

If you're thinking about more than one piece: reach out before you order. We'll design everything together and give you project pricing for the full set.
