The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A Damascus enamelled copper panel is a traditional Middle Eastern decorative metalwork piece created by fusing powdered vitreous enamel to a hammered or engraved copper substrate, prominent during the Ottoman period in Syria.

Craftsmen executed these works by hammering copper sheets, chasing or engraving intricate outlines, and filling recessed areas with coloured glass enamels before firing the piece at high temperatures.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-chased copper bases, natural variation in enamel firing, traditional Thuluth or Naskh calligraphic scripts, and age-consistent oxidisation on exposed reverse copper surfaces.

Position the panel as a focal artwork on a neutral textured wall, paired with dark wood furniture or contemporary minimalist framing to highlight the rich mineral glaze colours.

Dust gently using a dry microfibre cloth, avoid liquid detergents or chemical polishers that can damage aged enamel, and maintain a dry interior environment to prevent copper corrosion.
