Stag in Forest Copper Backsplash

Stag in Forest Copper Backsplash — Hand-Hammered Wilderness & Cabin Kitchen Wall Art

The stag in the forest — antlers raised, standing among the pines, the mountains behind him. Not the deer family in the meadow, not the doe and fawns — the stag alone in his full authority, the forest as his kingdom, the mountains as his horizon. The most panoramic and most atmospherically complete wildlife backsplash in the catalog.

A hand-hammered copper backsplash and wall art piece of a stag standing proudly among tall pine trees with mountains in the distance in raised relief — the stag centered in the composition, the antlers detailed above, the pine trees rising on either side, the mountain range completing the background — 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 stag, the pines, the mountains, and the copper field are the composition: the animal as the subject, the wilderness as the setting, the landscape as the frame. Available in all 15 finishes. Over 10,000 pieces made.

The white-tailed deer stag (Odocoileus virginianus) — and the elk (Cervus canadensis), the mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), and the moose (Alces alces) — are the defining large game animals of the American wilderness tradition. The stag with his full rack of antlers is the most iconic hunting trophy subject in American decorative art — on the carved wooden signs of the hunting lodge, on the ironwork of the Adirondack camp, on the painted panels of the American Arts and Crafts tradition. In the European tradition, the stag in the forest is the defining subject of the medieval hunting tapestry — the mille-fleurs tapestries of the 15th century, the Devonshire Hunting Tapestries (c. 1425–1430, Victoria and Albert Museum), and the Hunt of the Unicorn tapestries (c. 1495–1505, The Cloisters, New York). Edwin Landseer’s Monarch of the Glen (1851) — the stag on the Scottish highland, antlers raised, the mountain mist behind him — is the most reproduced wildlife painting in British art history. This panel puts the stag on the wall — in copper, in the full authority of the mountain forest.

How This Differs From Our Deer Family Name Sign

• Stag in Forest Copper Backsplash (this panel) — the stag alone in the full mountain forest landscape — the most panoramic and most atmospherically complete wildlife backsplash in the catalog — a pure wilderness art piece
• Deer Family Name Sign — the stag, doe, and fawns beneath an oak tree — personalized with the family name — a family portrait, not a landscape art piece
