Custom Copper Kitchen Hood

Add bold sophistication and layered charm to your kitchen with this Custom Copper Kitchen Hood from Rustica House. Expertly balancing aesthetics and function, its gently sloping silhouette and uniquely tall apron create a striking focal point. Handcrafted from high-quality copper and finished to your specifications, this made-to-order hood merges artisanal warmth with dependable performance.

1. Distinctive Sloping Silhouette & Tall Apron

The hood’s canopy begins with a soft slope that flows into an apron taller than usual, providing enhanced capture of cooking vapors. A single horizontal copper strap encircles the apron, adding visual structure and reinforcing its robust form.

2. Vertical Trim & Riveted Accents

Two slender vertical trims flank the front face, delivering architectural rhythm and subtle refinement. Each is secured with bold rivets—a hallmark of Spanish Colonial and Southwestern metalwork—which punctuate the design with handcrafted character.

3. Elegant Crown Molding

A small upper molding crowns the chimney, offering a touch of classical elegance without detracting from the hood’s clean, modern lines. This detail ties the piece to Old World traditions while keeping the overall look minimal and contemporary.

4. Hand-Hammered Artisan Texture

Each hood is hand-hammered by master coppersmiths, creating a rich, undulating surface that catches light and highlights the chosen patina. This artisanal finish not only enhances durability but also ensures that no two hoods are exactly alike.

5. Spanish Colonial & Southwestern Influence

While versatile enough for transitional or urban kitchens, the hood’s riveted band and strap detailing lean into Spanish Colonial and Southwestern aesthetics. Bold yet refined, it complements terra-cotta floors, rustic wood beams, and matte-black fixtures beautifully.
