Glasgow style art nouveau pewter rose which I have made using the repoussé technique. The design is based on an original art nouveau tile design and carefully worked into 3 dimensions on sheet pewter. This picture is available here in a beautiful mount and black wood frame.
Each individual piece I make entirely by hand and therefore has its own individual qualities. I start with a outlets 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 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 approx. 30x30cm
