Tea Kettle & Tray Brass Backsplash — Antique Gold — Artisan Decorative Metalwork
Antique Gold is not a color applied to brass. It is what brass becomes when it has lived somewhere long enough. The warm amber-bronze of aged brass is the color of old farmhouse kitchens, of Provençal copper collections, of Tuscan kitchens where the same pots have hung above the same stove for three generations. This panel arrives looking like it already belongs.
A piece of artisan decorative metalwork for the wall behind your stove or range — the tea kettle and the baking tray worked up from solid brass sheet, one hammer stroke at a time, then finished with a hand-applied Antique Gold patina that gives the surface the warm amber-bronze depth of aged metal. Made by our family using chasing and repoussé techniques unchanged for centuries. The patina is not uniform — it settles differently in the recesses than on the high points of the relief, creating a natural tonal variation that no machine process can replicate. Over 10,000 pieces made.
The Antique Gold finish is the most heritage-specific and most immediately Old World of the five Tea Kettle finishes. Where the Gold variant is bright and honest, Antique Gold is warm and settled — the difference between a new brass kettle on the shelf and one that has been used every morning for twenty years. It belongs in a French country kitchen, a Tuscan farmhouse, a Provençal mas, a New England colonial, or any kitchen where the aesthetic is built around things that look like they have always been there. The most naturally at-home finish in the catalog for traditional and heritage interiors.

The hood above the stove clad in the same Antique Gold — front, sides, chimney — the kettle and tray motif rising from the backsplash into the hood in one continuous composition.

④ Personalized or bespoke design — reach out
The tea kettle with your family name worked into the brass below it, a full kitchen still life with the kettle at the center surrounded by the produce and vessels of your particular cooking tradition, a Provençal herb garden border framing the kettle composition, or something entirely different that belongs to your kitchen and no other.

Complete the Look
A full Antique Gold kitchen. The tea kettle and tray above the stove, the same warm amber-bronze wrapping every wall, the hood, the island — a kitchen that reads as a single heritage material decision. The most Old World and most immediately settled kitchen composition in the catalog.
A kitchen nameplate in Antique Gold. Your family name or a single word — a proverb, a place name, a year — worked into the brass in the same aged patina, mounted beside the stove or above the window. The piece that makes the kitchen unmistakably yours without saying anything obvious about it.
A dining room or breakfast room wall. The tea kettle and tray at dining room scale in Antique Gold — the warm amber-bronze filling the wall behind the table. The room that smells like coffee and bread before anything is even cooking.
