Product Introduction
The hand-hammered copper plate by Meslier is a celebration of traditional metal artistry and contemporary decorative innovation. Forged from solid copper or brass, each panel features a hand-forged hammered-eye texture, which creates a rich, organic surface full of depth, character, and subtle irregularity. The antiqued finish gives it a vintage warmth and artisanal touch, making it ideal for luxury interior design, architecture, and custom installations.
Origin & Cultural Heritage
While many associate the hammered pattern with Japanese metalware, the origins of this decorative technique can be traced further back to ancient China, where gold, silver, and copper vessels were hand-forged with similar patterns to enhance both durability and beauty. The hammered surface not only reflects light in captivating ways, but also bears the imprint of craftsmanship—every strike a record of human effort and artistic intention.
“One strike makes one mark, and four strikes form one pattern.”
This mantra guides every piece, with thousands of hammer hits shaping a texture that is both timeless and unique.
Visual Texture & Style
The hammered-eye pattern lies between texture and pattern—it’s decorative, yet deeply tactile. Its appearance may remind one of:
Crisscrossing rice fields seen from above
Rippling water in a wind-swept lotus pond
Organic rhythms found in traditional Japanese and Chinese crafts
This interplay of form and randomness gives the surface a naturally meditative and timeless aesthetic.
