Rat Copper Panel — Hand-Hammered Chinese Zodiac & Wildlife Wall Art

A copper wall panel of the rat — alert expression, fine whiskers, the nimble compact form of the most intelligent small mammal — hand-hammered in real copper sheet by our family using traditional chasing and repoussé techniques passed through generations. The whisker detail, the bright eyes, the precise rendering of a subject that rewards close attention: every detail a separate hammer stroke, thousands of them. Over 10,000 pieces made.

In the West, the rat has a reputation. In China, it has a throne. The first sign of the zodiac — the one that won the race by being the cleverest in the room — the Rat year belongs to people born in 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020. Charming, resourceful, quick-thinking, and loyal to the people they choose. This panel is for them, and for anyone who knows the rat deserves better than its reputation.

Feature Wall

For walls larger than standard panel sizes, we design and fabricate a multi-piece installation — the rat composition at full wall scale, the central panel intact, surrounded by border pieces with Chinese zodiac or decorative elements. Every seam falls at a natural design break. Installed as one unified artwork.

Feature walls start at $4,745 for 60×60". Contact us to begin — we'll design the full composition, send a digital preview, and quote your exact wall before any commitment.

Installation & Care

Installation — three methods:

  • Adhesive — stick directly over existing tile, drywall, wood, or stone using any standard construction adhesive. Most popular method. Most customers install in under an hour.
  • Screw mount — for large, heavy, or outdoor panels. Ships with screws and decorative caps included.
  • Hanging wire — for wall art, signs, and removable installations.

For multi-piece panels: install the central piece first, borders second.

Care:

Wipe with a soft damp cloth. For grease or cooking splashes, warm water and mild dish soap. No polishing, waxing, or re-sealing — ever. The finish you receive is the finish it keeps.
