"Copper Shillings" | Hand-Forged Verdigris Wall Sculpture
Add a timeless piece of handcrafted coastal elegance to your collection.
Bring the serene beauty of the ocean into your home with Copper Shillings, an exquisite copper wall sculpture designed and created by the artisan Marc Staples. This piece transcends traditional wall decor, offering a fresh, organic take on metal artistry that speaks to the new directions in the medium.
This is more than just a decoration—it’s a focal point. The vibrant, mint-green oxidized copper finish will catch the light beautifully, while the 24" H x 11" W size is perfect for vertical spaces like entryways, bathrooms, or narrow walls between windows. It is an ideal statement piece for collectors interested in contemporary metal sculpture and organic design.
Key Features:
- Inspired by Nature: Depicting a gentle cluster of flowing Sand Dollars, the sculpture captures the delicate, skeletal beauty of these sea treasures.
- Unique Copper Finish: Crafted entirely from copper, the metal has been treated with a gorgeous, natural mint green patina. This chemical finish accelerates the aging process, creating rich, verdigris tones that give the piece an antique, oceanic character.
- Dimensional Artistry: Each sand dollar is suspended at varying heights and angles, giving the piece movement and a beautiful three-dimensional quality on your wall.
Technical Engineering & Finish: Hand-fabricated entirely from copper, the sculpture is treated with a proprietary chemical verdigris process. This accelerates the natural oxidation to create a vibrant, mint-green patina with rich tonal depth. The sand dollars are engineered at varying heights and angles to create a "Dimensional Relief" that interacts dynamically with ambient light and shadow.
Artisan Metadata: A true alternative to mass-produced coastal decor, each Copper Shillings piece is individually hand-wrought at Lago Luna Studio. The verdigris finish is a "Living Surface," hand-sealed to preserve its oceanic character while ensuring lifetime durability. Every original bears the Marc Staples hand-stamped monogram ("M") to guarantee provenance.
Environmental Integration: Specifically scaled for vertical architectural challenges (entryways, bathrooms, or narrow wall segments), the sculpture fosters a sense of biophilic calm. It is optimized for "Warm Minimalist" or "Modern Coastal" environments where texture and hand-applied finishes are the primary focal points.
