Range Hood #25, B

This custom copper Range Hood #25, B features standing seams, a custom repoussé border and a custom recirculating insert with charcoal filters. The exhaust exits either side of the crown, which slides out on an s-track to allow changing of its hidden charcoal filter. Decorative cut-outs on either side of the flue stack return filtered air into the room.
This hood was installed many years ago, but the pictures themselves are from ten years later, in its forever home in Central Texas. Copper only needs an occasional cleaning with soap and water, and is a long-lasting material suitable for may decorative applications.

Repoussé

This month’s blog topic is the on the art of Repoussé.

Repoussé is an ancient skill used in metal craft to create beautiful images in malleable metals. The term Repoussé is derived from the French word pousser, “to push forward.”  The techniques of Repoussé are found worldwide from ancient times, such as the gold mummy mask of Tutankhamun,  to today, as demonstrated in the Statue of Liberty.

The repoussé design is created by raising the image from the back using special hammers and chasing fine details from the front.    Bas-relief (low relief) repoussé is often confused with a mass production process of “rolling” or “stamping” designs into metal with special forming machines. This kind of imprinting a design into metal does not typically result in the fine detail associated with genuine repoussé, and doesn’t allow for cost-effective intricate one-off custom designs.

Texas Lightsmith artisans are skilled in this venerable process to create unique one of a kind functional art products. Watch the video for inspiration on how to incorporate repoussé into your Texas Lightsmith project.
