What is it about copper house numbers that add so much to a home? It’s not like they are flashy or obvious. Maybe that’s the whole point. I just love their understated elegance, especially when they are hand hammered.  It’s the whole handmade thing. I like thinking about the craftsman working on a piece, cutting it out, hammering it carefully. I imagine it’s a meditative flow like feeling as he’s working, adding the final finishing touches, rubbing the pieces to a dark rich sheen.  It’s really copper art when you think about it…
