Copper Backsplash | Dark Velvet
This copper splashback is handmade to order from solid copper and finished in our Dark Velvet patina. The surface is defined by intense areas of dark oxidation layered with deep purple and dark green undertones, creating a rich, dramatic finish with pronounced depth.
Best for
Statement splashbacks and feature walls in interiors that embrace contrast, texture, and a more expressive material presence.
European craftsmanship
Each panel is crafted individually using a controlled, multi-stage patination process. The Dark Velvet finish is developed by building layers of oxidation rather than aiming for uniformity, allowing the natural character of the copper to remain visible beneath the darker surface tones.
Every panel is finished by hand, ensuring each piece carries its own unique balance of colour, depth, and texture.
Finish character
Dark Velvet is the most intense of our copper finishes. Distinct areas of dark patina are interwoven with subtle purple and green undertones, producing a surface that feels dense, tactile, and visually grounded. This finish prioritises raw material expression over consistency, making it ideal where the metal is intended to act as a focal element rather than a neutral backdrop.

How to install
Our panels bond directly to drywall, wood, or existing tiles using standard construction adhesive. No mechanical drilling or fastening is required. Please refer to our Installation & Technical Guide for full instructions.
Care
Initial Seal: Your panel arrives protected by a professional museum-grade wax barrier.
Maintenance: To stop the aging process, reapply wax every 6–12 months depending on intensity of use.
The Patina: For a more "industrial-modern" look, leave the metal untreated to allow natural darkening. Please refer to Our metals guide for more information.
Cleaning: Avoid harsh chemicals. Use only soap and warm water, followed by a soft, dry microfiber cloth.
