Product Description
This hand-hammered bell copper range hood pairs a tall, uninterrupted canopy with antique patina and a deep apron decorated in raised foliate scrollwork. Long concave sides sweep outward toward the cooking surface, creating a graceful bell silhouette without straps, rivets, applied borders, or projecting crown molding. That restraint leaves a broad expanse of textured copper visible and concentrates the ornament along the lower edge. Handcrafted from premium 16-gauge copper in Santa Clara del Cobre, Mexico, the hood can be ordered with hammered or smooth copper and natural fired, dark coffee, antique, honey, green oxidized, or hand-polished finishes. Custom dimensions accommodate different ranges, cabinetry, and ceiling conditions, while wall-mount and kitchen-island configurations support varied layouts. Its combination of clean architecture and Spanish-inspired metalwork works especially well in Spanish Colonial, Hacienda, Mediterranean, and Tuscan kitchens. For more details about its handcrafted construction, bell proportions, and ornamental metalwork, see our hand-hammered bell copper range hood foliate scrollwork guide. Customize the dimensions, finish, surface, mounting configuration, and ventilation preparation for your project.

Custom Sizing
Each hood is made to order so its tall bell proportions can coordinate with the range, cabinetry, backsplash, and ceiling. Widths range from 28 to 78 inches, heights from 24 to 72 inches, and standard depth is 24 inches. Custom sizing preserves the transition from the narrow upper section through the concave canopy to the broad decorative apron.
Measurements Needed
Provide the cooking-surface width, desired hood width, overall height, ceiling height, mounting height, depth, backsplash thickness, cabinet clearances, and planned duct position. For an island installation, also identify the cooktop centerline and available ceiling structure. These measurements help establish appropriate canopy proportions and coordinate the ventilation opening before fabrication begins.
Insert Planning
The handcrafted copper enclosure and mechanical ventilation equipment are planned separately. Rustica House offers an optional 200 CFM insert for compatible applications. Buyer-supplied internal inserts up to 1,260 CFM and external blower systems up to 1,500 CFM can also be accommodated when complete specifications are supplied before production, providing flexibility in airflow, controls, lighting, filters, ducting, and blower placement.
Drawing Approval
Confirm the width, height, depth, bell curvature, apron dimensions, ventilation opening, and duct centerline before production. When using buyer-supplied equipment, provide the manufacturer, model, dimensions, cutout requirements, duct size, controls, lighting configuration, and filter access. Reviewing these details early helps coordinate the custom enclosure with cabinetry, framing, ceilings, and mechanical components.
Bell Canopy Architecture
The tall canopy begins with a relatively narrow rectangular upper section before developing into long concave curves. These sides accelerate outward near the bottom to form a broad capture area above the range. Unlike angular tapered or pyramid hoods, the continuous curvature creates a softer silhouette and allows the eye to follow the copper naturally from the upper body to the decorative apron.
Clean Upper Profile
A flat upper termination replaces the projecting crown molding found on many traditional copper hoods. This simplified treatment keeps the architecture visually continuous and places greater emphasis on the height and curvature of the canopy. The absence of a heavy crown also makes the design easier to coordinate with timber ceilings, plaster surrounds, cabinetry, or restrained architectural millwork.
Uninterrupted Canopy
The main canopy is intentionally free of decorative straps, riveted bands, raised borders, and applied vertical ornament. Large uninterrupted copper planes allow the hammer marks and changing patina tones to become part of the design. This restraint distinguishes the hood from heavily embellished Old World models while preserving enough decorative character at the apron to create a strong focal point.
Foliate Scroll Apron
A deep rectangular apron provides the hood's primary ornamental feature. Raised stems, curling tendrils, leaves, and elongated S-shaped forms create continuous foliate scrollwork across the lower band. The design recalls decorative metalwork and carved ornament associated with Spanish and Mediterranean interiors without relying on a literal floral pattern. Its horizontal movement contrasts with the tall vertical canopy above.
What Makes It Different
This model separates architectural form from decorative detail. The upper canopy remains deliberately clean, allowing the bell silhouette, hammered texture, and patina to dominate, while ornament is concentrated along the apron. With no straps, exposed rivets, stepped crown, or multiple decorative bands, it offers a quieter alternative to heavily embellished bell hoods while retaining unmistakable handcrafted Old World character.
Surface Options
Traditional hand hammering creates irregular impressions that scatter reflected light across the broad curved surfaces, emphasizing both the handmade construction and changing patina. A smooth copper surface can also be selected for quieter metal planes and broader reflections. Both treatments preserve the clean strap-free architecture and raised apron artwork, allowing texture to be adjusted without changing the fundamental design.
Copper Finishes
Antique copper particularly suits this design because muted brown and bronze tones emphasize the hammered canopy and recessed apron details. Natural fired offers warmer red and bronze variation, while dark coffee creates a deeper brown appearance. Honey introduces amber warmth, green oxidized patina creates a weathered effect, and hand-polished copper provides the brightest surface. Handmade finishes naturally vary in tone and concentration.
Mounting Options
The hood can be fabricated for wall-mounted or kitchen-island installation. Mounting type should be established before production because structural support, exposed surfaces, attachment details, and ventilation preparation differ. Both configurations preserve the tall concave bell profile, uninterrupted canopy, flat upper termination, and ornamental lower apron that give this model its distinctive appearance.
Wall-Mount Version
A wall-mounted version places the broad apron directly above the cooking surface and allows the tall canopy to rise against tile, stone, plaster, or slab backsplash material. The strap-free body creates a particularly clean focal point between cabinets. Confirm framing, cabinet clearances, backsplash thickness, mounting height, electrical service, and duct location before approving production dimensions.
Kitchen Island Version
An island version exposes the curved silhouette and hammered surface from multiple viewpoints, making the uninterrupted canopy especially noticeable. Suitable ceiling framing is required for structural support. Coordinate the cooktop centerline, mounting height, electrical service, duct route, and ventilation equipment before fabrication, particularly when planning a custom copper island hood beneath tall, beamed, or vaulted ceilings.
Buyer Planning
Confirm dimensions, surface texture, finish, mounting configuration, ventilation equipment, and structural requirements together before production. Early coordination helps preserve the tall bell proportions while reducing conflicts between the apron, cooking equipment, cabinetry, ceiling structure, ductwork, and mechanical components.

Copper Craftsmanship
Each hood is handcrafted in Santa Clara del Cobre, Mexico, where artisans form the long curved canopy, shape the deep apron, create the raised foliate ornament, and apply the selected finish individually. Hammer impressions, seams, relief details, edge work, and subtle variations in patina remain visible as characteristics of traditional metalworking rather than mechanically uniform factory production.
Kitchen Styles
The design draws on Old World bell architecture interpreted through Mexican copperworking and Spanish-inspired foliate ornament. Its clean upper body gives it greater flexibility than heavily embellished Hacienda hoods, while the decorative apron preserves traditional character. The antique finish works particularly well with plaster, timber, stone, terracotta, handmade tile, carved cabinetry, and aged metal details.
