Pineapple Welcome Copper Sign — Hand-Hammered Hospitality & Entryway Wall Art

The pineapple has been the symbol of welcome and hospitality in the American home since the 17th century — the fruit that colonial sea captains placed on their gateposts to announce their return from the Caribbean and invite the neighbors in. In copper relief, with WELCOME embossed beneath it, the pineapple welcome sign is the most historically grounded and most universally understood hospitality symbol in the catalog.

A hand-hammered copper sign of a pineapple with WELCOME lettering in raised relief — the pineapple centered in the composition, the crown of leaves detailed above, the scales of the fruit detailed across the body, the WELCOME lettering completing the composition below — 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 pineapple, the lettering, and the copper field are the composition: the hospitality symbol as the subject, the welcome as the declaration, the warm metal as the material that makes both permanent. Available in all 15 finishes. Over 10,000 pieces made.

The pineapple (Ananas comosus) — native to South America, introduced to Europe by Christopher Columbus on his return from Guadeloupe in 1493 — became the most prized and most expensive fruit in 17th- and 18th-century Europe, where a single pineapple could cost the equivalent of thousands of dollars and was rented by the hour as a table centerpiece at formal dinners. In colonial America, the pineapple became the symbol of welcome and hospitality: sea captains returning from the Caribbean would impale a pineapple on their gatepost to signal their return and invite neighbors to visit. The pineapple appears on the carved stone lintels of the colonial American tavern, on the finials of the Federal period bedpost, on the carved wooden signs of the New England inn, and on the tilework of the American country kitchen. In copper, the pineapple welcome sign is the most historically grounded and most universally understood hospitality symbol in the American decorative arts tradition.
