Hand-hammered copper kitchen backsplash. Polar bear standing on Arctic sea ice in raised repoussé relief. Custom size, 15 finishes, made to order by Natuross.

This is a handcrafted copper wall panel, made to your size. 24-gauge copper, hand-hammered on an anvil, wrapped over a rigid backing. The finish is applied and sealed with a clear protective coating — easy to clean, color stays true. Heat and moisture resistant. Ready to install behind the stove, under the range hood, or over the sink.

The polar bear stands on a drifting ice floe, body in profile, head turned slightly toward the viewer. The stance is broad and unhurried — the confidence of an animal that owns its environment. Fine repoussé detailing defines the muzzle, ears, paws, and layered fur while keeping the smooth, clean contours the species is known for. Floating ice sheets and fractured formations extend across the foreground. Open Arctic water fills the distance. The landscape is open and uncluttered — ice, water, bear — so the animal reads with full force from across the room. Every detail raised from the copper by hand, using chasing and repoussé — a craft practiced for over 5,000 years. Not printed, not stamped, not laser engraved, not cast. A genuine handmade copper backsplash that shifts and glows as the light changes through the day.

The polar bear is the largest land predator on earth and one of the most powerful symbols of endurance in the natural world. It lives where almost nothing else can. For kitchens that draw from northern, coastal, or wilderness themes — or for anyone who simply respects that kind of strength — this panel carries real weight.

You won’t find this in any store or catalog. Natuross custom copper backsplashes are in kitchens across the US — ordered by homeowners who wanted something lasting and meaningful, and by designers who keep coming back.

Single Panel or Full Kitchen Backsplash

A single copper panel behind the stove is the most common starting point — and a complete look on its own.

The most popular order is a full kitchen backsplash: main panel behind the stove, side panels under the cabinets, coordinated design on a second wall. Send your measurements and we’ll design the full layout. Every panel made to size, all in the same finish.

More Than Kitchen Decor

• Coastal or northern home — Arctic ice and open water on copper. This panel belongs in a home that faces the sea or the cold.
• Fireplace surround — a polar bear above a fire. The contrast is striking — ice and flame, both elemental.
• Lodge or cabin great room — large-scale wildlife on copper changes the entire character of a room built for gathering.
• Entryway feature wall — strength and endurance as the first impression. Few animals command a wall the way a polar bear does.
• Outdoor kitchen or covered patio — heat and moisture resistant, built for open-air use in any season.
