World Map Silver–Copper Backsplash — Hand-Hammered Cartographic Wall Art

Every continent in raised copper relief. The oceans in a cool silver patina. The coastlines, the islands, the shapes of the landmasses that define the world — all of it physically present on the surface, not printed, not etched. A world map that has weight and texture and shadow. The kind of piece that makes a room feel like it belongs to someone who has been somewhere.

Hand-hammered from flat copper sheet in our family workshop using traditional chasing and repoussé techniques passed through generations. The Silver–Copper finish is a two-tone process: the background is silver-plated to a clean, cool tone, while the raised continents are left in natural copper — warm, dimensional, catching the light differently at every hour of the day. The contrast is precise and intentional. Available in all 15 finishes — though Silver–Copper is the finish most people choose for this design. Over 10,000 pieces made and installed.

Where It Lives

This panel is not room-specific. It belongs wherever the world should be on the wall.

• The study or home office — behind the desk, above the bookshelf, the wall that says something about how the person in this room thinks
• The dining room — above the sideboard or centered on the main wall — the conversation piece that starts every dinner
• The living room — above the fireplace or sofa, the anchor of the room
• The kitchen — heat and splash resistant, fully functional as a backsplash behind the stove or sink
• The bar or wine room — the world, on the wall, next to the bottles
• The entryway — the first thing seen when walking in; the declaration that this home has a point of view

Make It Yours

• Mark your places — specific cities, countries, or regions highlighted in a different finish or with a pin-mark detail — the places you’ve lived, traveled, or plan to go
• Add coordinates or a compass rose — the coordinates of a meaningful location worked into the composition
• Focus on a region — a single continent, a specific ocean, a hemisphere — if the full world map is too broad, we can render the part that matters most
• Change the finish — the same map in Natural Copper, Black Copper, Antique Gold, Silver–Black Details, or any of the 15 finishes

What Can You Order?

① This panel — select your size and finish above
Any size, any finish. Add your personalization or any notes at checkout. Don’t see your size? Send us your measurements — we’ll add it as a new option and notify you when it’s ready.

② The full wall installation
The world map spanning the full width of a wall — a dining room feature wall, a study accent wall, a kitchen backsplash from counter to cabinet. For panels wider than 77", the map is produced in sections that align seamlessly at natural geographic breaks. Send straight-on photos of your wall and we’ll design the full layout.

③ A room built around the map
The world map on the main wall. A compass rose on the adjacent wall. A specific continent or ocean detail above the bar. One finish, one design language, every panel saying something about the person who lives here. Most customers are surprised by how much a second panel changes the whole room.

④ A completely custom cartographic piece
A specific country rendered in full detail. A nautical chart of a coastline you know by heart. A city map of the place where something important happened. The world as you know it, in copper, on your wall. Tell us what belongs here.
