Bell Shape Hammered Copper Range Hood - Riveted Straps

Product Description

The bell shape hammered copper range hood with riveted straps combines a gently curved canopy, dark architectural bands, copper apron studs, and a broad lower frame into a balanced handcrafted composition. Its narrow upper section expands gradually toward the cooking surface, producing a softer profile than a straight tapered hood without developing the exaggerated waist of a deeply curved bell. Riveted strap details organize the upper body, while evenly spaced studs along the lower apron add texture without covering the copper with excessive ornament. The hood can be ordered with a smooth or hammered surface in coffee, antique, natural fired, warm honey, oxidized green, or hand-polished copper. Widths range from 28 to 78 inches, heights from 24 to 72 inches, and standard depth is 24 inches for wall or island installation.

Custom Sizing

The enclosure is available in standard widths of 28, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72, and 78 inches, with heights from 24 to 72 inches and a standard 24-inch depth. Chimney width, bell curvature, apron height, center arch, strap placement, and lower projection can be coordinated around the cooking surface and surrounding cabinetry. Adjusting these elements together preserves the country-style proportions at different sizes rather than simply stretching one fixed design.

Measurements Needed

Provide the cooktop width, desired hood width, available height, mounting height, backsplash thickness, cabinet clearances, finished depth, and duct route. Island projects also require ceiling height, structural-support locations, cooking-surface centerline, and the preferred proportions of every exposed elevation. These details help coordinate the copper shell, ventilation equipment, duct location, and support before production.

Insert Planning

The hood is fabricated as an insert-ready metal shell. Rustica House can supply an optional 200 CFM insert for suitable residential applications. This range hood supports buyer-supplied internal inserts up to 1,260 CFM and external blower systems up to 1,500 CFM. Full specifications should be provided before fabrication, including the insert brand, model, body dimensions, liner cutout, duct diameter, controls, lighting, filters, discharge location, electrical needs, and service clearances.

Drawing Approval

When custom proportions or buyer-selected ventilation are required, the exterior dimensions, bell curve, apron shape, strap locations, liner opening, and duct centerline can be coordinated before production approval. This planning step is especially useful for wider hoods, island versions, or installations where cabinetry, beams, stone surrounds, or ceiling conditions affect the standard proportions.

Design Difference

This design differs from ornate Old World bell hoods because its decoration is concentrated into a few clearly defined elements. The canopy remains comparatively open, with dark riveted bands providing vertical and horizontal structure and copper studs accenting the lower apron. There is no elaborate crown, embossed panel field, or dense framework of multiple straps. The shallow central rise in the apron also distinguishes it from hoods with completely straight or deeply scalloped lower edges.

Bell Profile

The canopy begins with a relatively narrow chimney and expands through controlled outward curves toward the range. The flare gives the lower body sufficient visual mass for a substantial cooking area while keeping the upper section lighter. Its geometry reads as traditional from the front but remains restrained enough to work with cleaner cabinetry, stone surfaces, and contemporary appliances.

Riveted Straps

The dark bands provide the principal structural accent across the copper body. Evenly spaced rivets introduce a measured rhythm and emphasize handcrafted assembly without producing the aggressive hardware effect of oversized clavos or blackened steel frameworks. Their darker treatment creates contrast against warmer copper while allowing the canopy itself to remain the dominant visual element.

Arched Apron

The broad rectangular lower frame includes a restrained upward rise through the center rather than a completely flat edge. This slight arch softens the base and echoes the curvature of the canopy above. Copper studs distributed across the apron add small points of shadow and texture while preserving the broad horizontal foundation that visually anchors the hood.

Copper Surface

The product may be ordered in smooth or hammered copper. Hand hammering creates irregular highlights that emphasize traditional artisan character and make warm patina variation more visible. Smooth copper provides broader reflections and a calmer surface for kitchens with busier cabinetry or backsplashes. In both treatments, seams, tool marks, and tonal changes remain natural evidence of handcrafted fabrication.

Finish Options

Six copper finishes are available. Coffee creates deeper brown tones, antique produces a softened aged character, natural fired emphasizes reddish and amber coloration, and warm honey brings lighter golden notes. Oxidized green introduces blue-green weathering, while hand-polished copper produces brighter reflections. The photographed honey-brown character can therefore be adapted toward either darker traditional interiors or lighter transitional and contemporary kitchens.

Buyer Table

Exterior dimensions, bell curvature, apron geometry, strap placement, copper finish, mounting type, and ventilation should be considered together because changes to one area can affect the visual proportions or internal fit.

Copper Craftsmanship

Each hood is formed and finished by hand in Santa Clara del Cobre, Mexico. Artisans shape the chimney, curved canopy, apron, side returns, straps, and internal supports around approved project measurements before completing the chosen texture and patina. Rivets and lower apron studs are positioned individually. Slight differences in hammer impressions, seams, strap alignment, stud spacing, edge folds, and finish distribution are expected and give each made-to-order enclosure its own character.

Kitchen Styles

The product lifestyle images show this bell-shaped copper hood in several distinct interiors, including farmhouse, transitional, modern, traditional American, rustic, Muskoka cottage, rustic mountain, and a large Southeastern kitchen. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} View additional room applications in the bell copper hood lifestyle gallery.

• Farmhouse: Painted cabinetry, natural wood, shiplap, stone counters, and practical hardware complement the warm copper surface. The riveted bands add handcrafted structure, while the shallow apron arch keeps the hood softer than a fully rectangular industrial canopy.
• Transitional: Shaker cabinetry, quartzite, tailored millwork, and restrained mixed metals work with the clean chimney and controlled bell flare. The traditional copper texture introduces warmth without requiring heavily ornamental surroundings.
• Modern: Flat-panel cabinetry, clean stone surfaces, simple hardware, and uncluttered lighting create a strong contrast with the handcrafted copper. The uncomplicated canopy allows the patina and riveted bands to become the principal decorative features.
• Traditional American: Paneled cabinetry, classic tile, hardwood flooring, and substantial moldings provide an appropriate architectural setting for the symmetrical bell profile, apron studs, and dark strap accents.
