The Secret of Hammered Copper: Patina, Artistry & Maintenance Tips

dining-table-hammer-copper-1237D-Photo

Something is mesmerizing about hammered copper furniture — the depth, the shimmer, the way it changes over time. What makes it so special? The magic lies in its handcrafted patina.

Every hammered copper table at Mexports is shaped and textured by skilled artisans, each blow of the hammer creating a one-of-a-kind finish. Over time, the copper develops a natural patina — a rich character that can range from warm browns to verdigris greens, depending on the finish and care.

Want to preserve the shine? Gently clean with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive chemicals. Prefer a rustic look? Let nature age it gracefully.

Designers love copper because it pairs equally well with modern black iron bases or ornate scrollwork, making it a versatile choice for both contemporary and old-world spaces.
