Product Description
The hand-hammered copper under-cabinet box range hood with riveted bends combines a compact cabinet-level profile with visible artisan metalwork. Formed from 16-gauge copper, the shell uses a straight rectangular front, softly rounded side returns, and exposed vertical corner seams for a fitted architectural appearance. Two continuous copper bands wrap the upper and lower edges, creating the riveted bends that frame the broad hammered center field. Large dark iron rivets provide contrast without dividing the face with vertical straps. The standard depth is 20 inches, while available widths include 28, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72, and 78 inches. Custom dimensions, natural fired patinas, and approved insert preparation are available. Review measurements and installation requirements in our under-cabinet copper range hood guide.

Compact Box Architecture
This design is built as a low-profile insert cover rather than a tall wall chimney. Its straight horizontal body fits beneath a dedicated upper cabinet or between adjoining cabinets, keeping the cooking wall visually open. The broad front creates a strong architectural line while concealing the ventilation equipment from normal standing height.
Riveted Perimeter Bends
The two defining bends are continuous copper bands wrapping the top and bottom edges of the enclosure. Each band turns around the softened side returns, visually containing the hammered center field. Large exposed rivets reinforce the bands at regular intervals, creating structure and rhythm without making the compact body appear heavily ornamented.
Rounded Side Returns
The main elevation remains straight, but the short sides curve gently as they turn toward the wall. These rounded returns soften the transition between the broad front and surrounding cabinetry. They also prevent the hood from looking like a sharply folded sleeve when viewed from a neighboring counter, doorway, or kitchen island.
Vertical Corner Seams
Visible seams define the points where the front panel meets the side returns. They function as construction lines rather than decorative straps, maintaining the hood’s simple box geometry. Their vertical orientation balances the long horizontal bands and helps the front read as a carefully assembled metal enclosure instead of a seamless factory cover.
Hammered Copper Field
The central copper surface is covered with dense, individually formed dimples that scatter reflections without producing a bright polished appearance. Small-scale hammering adds depth across the wide front and softens changing kitchen light. Because the texture is applied by hand, the spacing, depth, and direction of the marks naturally vary across the shell.
Natural Fired Patina
The medium antique finish combines warm reddish-brown copper with deeper brown tones inside the hammer marks, seams, and edge transitions. It is neither highly polished nor finished as a nearly black oil-rubbed surface. The natural fired treatment supports wood, plaster, stone, cream cabinetry, and other warm interior materials.
Product Difference
Unlike tall box hoods with full chimneys, this model stays entirely below the upper cabinets. It also differs from sloped under-cabinet shells with vertical ribs, broad aprons, or double beams. Its identity comes from one continuous rectangular body, two riveted perimeter bends, rounded side returns, and exposed corner construction.
Custom Configuration
Available widths range from 28 to 78 inches, and the standard front-to-back depth is 24 inches. Buyers may request reviewed changes to the width, height, depth, band size, rivet spacing, return radius, insert opening, and patina. Final proportions must coordinate with the cabinet opening, cooking surface, ventilation equipment, and installation space.
Measurements to Send
Provide the cabinet opening width, cooking surface width, available hood height, required projection, cabinet-floor thickness, backsplash depth, insert manufacturer and model, insert cutout, duct diameter, discharge direction, electrical location, and control position. These measurements allow the copper shell, mounting structure, bands, rivets, and internal opening to be planned together.
Ventilation Preparation
This handcrafted copper body is a decorative kitchen vent hood cover rather than a complete universal appliance. Rustica House may supply the optional 200 CFM insert or prepare the shell for approved buyer-provided equipment up to 1,200 CFM. The selected insert must physically fit the available height, depth, cutout, lighting, filters, controls, and maintenance clearances.
Ducted or Recirculating
The enclosure may be prepared for an approved ducted insert or a compatible recirculating system. Ducted installations can discharge vertically through the cabinet or toward the rear wall when the selected equipment permits. Recirculating preparation requires equipment designed specifically for filtered return airflow and must be reviewed before production.
Cabinet Support
The cabinet floor, wall blocking, and mounting points must carry the copper enclosure and ventilation equipment. Confirm the supporting material, available interior space, door clearances, insert position, and service access. The cabinetmaker and installer should approve the structure before the final shell dimensions enter production.

Artisan Construction
The shell is fabricated through copper cutting, bending, fitting, joining, hammering, and fire finishing. The rounded side returns must align with both horizontal bands, while the corner seams must remain straight and balanced. Rivets are positioned after the perimeter proportions are established so their spacing remains orderly across the selected width.
Coppersmith Testimony
The relationship between hammer depth, bent copper bands, corner alignment, and natural fired color reflects the regional methods used by skilled Michoacán metalworkers. Learn more about copper artisan Juan Carlos Hernández and the craftsmanship behind made-to-order architectural copper products.
Made in Mexico
Each hood is handcrafted in Santa Clara del Cobre around approved cabinet measurements and ventilation specifications. Individual hammering and fire treatment produce slight differences in surface depth, coloration, seams, and edge transitions. These variations preserve the artisan character of the finished enclosure instead of imitating a machine-stamped appliance cover.
Design Heritage
The low rectangular form is contemporary in proportion, while the hammered copper, dark rivets, and wrapped bands reference Spanish Colonial metalwork, workshop-built equipment, and traditional European kitchen hardware. This combination gives the hood enough historic character for Hacienda and Tuscan settings without requiring scrollwork, embossed motifs, or a large architectural chimney.
Best Kitchen Styles
This design works especially well in warm transitional, Modern Organic, Spanish Hacienda, Mediterranean Revival, modern farmhouse, industrial rustic, and Tuscan kitchens. Pair it with off-white Shaker cabinets, walnut, white oak, plaster, limestone, quartzite, handmade tile, stone backsplashes, or terracotta flooring. Brass hardware supports the reddish copper field, while black iron fixtures connect naturally with the exposed rivets. In cleaner interiors, allow the hood to remain the primary textured metal feature rather than combining it with several competing aged finishes.

FAQ - Riveted Box Hood
A: The design combines a low rectangular shell, softly rounded side returns, exposed corner seams, and two continuous riveted bends along the top and bottom. It contains no tall chimney, vertical face straps, decorative relief, or oversized lower beams.
A: No. It is a compact under-cabinet insert cover designed to fit below or between upper cabinets. The blower insert, filters, lights, controls, and duct transition are concealed inside the copper shell and surrounding cabinet structure.
A: Available widths range from 28 to 78 inches. Common options include 28, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72, and 78 inches. Project-specific dimensions may also be reviewed before production.
A: The standard front-to-back depth is 20 inches. This projection should be checked against the cooking surface, cabinet depth, insert dimensions, control access, and surrounding clearances before the shell enters production.
A: No. The visible copper bands run continuously across the upper and lower edges and wrap around the side returns. The only vertical lines are the corner seams where the main front panel meets the curved side sections.
A: Rustica House may supply the optional 200 CFM insert. Approved buyer-provided systems up to 1,260 CFM may be supported when their dimensions, cutout, filters, lights, controls, ducting, and maintenance clearances fit the available enclosure.
A: A compatible recirculating insert may be considered after equipment review. The system must be designed for filtered return airflow and must fit the shell, cabinet cavity, electrical layout, control position, and required service access.
A: Use mild soap, water, and a soft cloth, then dry the hammered field, rivets, bands, seams, and side returns. Avoid abrasive pads, acidic cleaners, strong degreasers, and metal polish that could alter the intended artisan treatment.
