The copper sheet
A raw sheet is cut and prepared. Its existing grain becomes part of the finished work.
The craft
Every mark is part of the record
These works are not mechanically identical decorations. Their value lies in the meeting of a historic emblem with an unrepeatable hand-worked surface.
The impression
The city emblem is worked into the metal by hand, building relief through pressure and repeated touch.
Patina and colour
Heat, oxidation and pigments deepen the surface. Variations are welcomed, never hidden.
Signed and numbered
The final plate is inspected, signed and marked 1/10 before it enters the archive.
Variation, not defect
Oxidation, fine scratches, hammer marks, small rises and colour shifts belong to the life of the copper. No two numbered works will age in exactly the same way.
The certificate
Each object is paired with a numbered certificate recording its city, edition and work details.
