If your décor is craving some XIX-century feel that is also matching a rustic ambience, consider a copper vent hood with straps. Both metal straps and the rivets were originally used to join pieces of sheet metal and provide structural support to the range hood. Nowadays, with modern techniques, those elements are decorations only and can set a whole different tone to our custom-made copper appliances. A broad collection of hand-hammered copper range hoods provides various models that include decorative horizontal or vertical straps.

How do we embellish the extractor’s molding with these characteristic straps? Straps are flat vertical strips of metal welded onto the hood. Sometimes the straps come decorated with rivets places above. The rivets are small metal balls welded to the straps or apron for extra flair. They can be made of different metals & colors to give your copper hood a unique design. If you are looking for a subtle touch of metallic charm on your kitchen, we would recommend you keep it quite simple and choose a copper vent hood with straps made also from copper. You can also consider adding a farmhouse copper sink for a more cohesive look. Just order both items in similar patina finishing so they complement each other instead of creating contrasts. However, if you goal is to boost an eclectic and fun décor, you can easily obtain it by choosing aesthetically more complex model such as copper hood "Windsor" whose body is made of copper and straps from iron. Another idea could be to order a hammered texture for molding and polished, shiny copper for straps. It would create a contrasting statement décor in your kitchen.

Custom Metalwork in Mexico

Mexico was famous for its metal working since the Meso American period with metals such as gold, brass, silver and copper and although the Spaniards focused on mining gold and silver and shipping those precise metals to Spain, the copper became quickly one of the most popular metal to produce domestic items such as pots and pans that you can still find being sold on the local markets around the country. Nowadays, the center of the traditional work in Mexico is based in the state of Michoacan and this is where our workshop was established in 2002. We proudly continue the tradition of beautiful metal working that implies precision and a unique technique that converts products in a one of a kind work of art.
