Description
Subject & Medium
An outstanding handcrafted curved copper fireplace hood canopy in the Georgian Revival style, evoking the timeless grandeur of 18th-century British design. This hollow, wall-mounted architectural piece is entirely handmade from solid copper and is meant to enhance a fireplace or act as a stunning wall feature.
Composition & Technique
This exquisite piece is a testament to traditional British craftsmanship. Handmade in the United Kingdom during the late 20th century (circa 1970s), it reflects an era of high-quality revival design inspired by Georgian architecture.
Material: Solid, hand-hammered copper
Finish: Aged with a rich, natural reddish-golden patina, exhibiting stunning tones of amber, bronze, and russet, with oxidized character throughout
Technique: Carefully shaped using time-honored planishing and hammering methods, giving the piece texture, warmth, and authenticity
Details: Accented with a row of large, dome rivets along the base—both decorative and historically referential
Silhouette: Gracefully flared curved form that adds visual height and movement
Function: Decorative only – hollow with no fan or electrics, ideal for mounting above fireplaces or as a statement wall piece
Mounting: Two pre-cut holes at the upper back for wall installation (no screws included)
This is not a modern kitchen extractor fan, but a sculptural architectural feature rich with character and history.
Dimensions
Height: 70 cm
Width: 118.5 cm
Depth: 17 cm
Generously scaled to make an impactful decorative statement in a wide range of settings, from classic homes to eclectic interiors.
Provenance
Originally sourced in the 1970s from a large private stately home library in the English Midlands (Middle Shires), this piece has been a beloved fixture above the seller's own fireplace for nearly 40 years. Its storied past and elegant design make it especially desirable to interior designers and collectors.
