Pewter repousse picture of tulips and hearts in the Art Nouveau style. I have made this picture by hand from sheet pewter which I carefully work to the final design. The metal is then carefully patinated to bring out the design and finally polished and lacquered. The pewter piece is mounted and framed in a black wood frame.
If you would preferred an unframed version of this picture you should be able to find it in my shop in the mount only. This picture would make a fabulous present for a wedding, anniversary or housewarming gift.
Each piece is made entirely by hand and therefore has its own individual qualities. I start with a piece of high quality lead free sheet pewter. The metal is carefully worked and sculpted from the back and front using various tools to bring out the 3 dimensional design. The technique is know as repoussé, which means to push the metal.
Once satisfied with the design it is popular filled from behind to give strength to the metal and then the metal is carefully patinated. After much polishing the design becomes beautifully highlighted and it is ready for mounting and framing.
The framed picture measures 30x30cm
