What a statement to make in your home with this handcrafted unique copper table with Boston Harbor permanately embedded into the copper tabel top!
This handcrafted Boston Harbor copper table features an outline map of Boston Harbor etched into the 18" copper top, created by hand using a patina process.
A famous maritime quote by Oliver W. Holmes is also etched arond the outside perimiter of Boston Harbor... "We must sail sometimes with the wind, and sometimes against it...But we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor. The greatest thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in which direction we are moving".
This table is one of a kind, signed, and numbered, and protected with a resin caoting so you can set drinks and plates on top, if you wish. Each table individually crafted in Rhode Island and carefully placed atop a mahogany wood base hand built by a local Newport boat builder.
Handcrafted in Rhode Island. Brought to you by The New England Trading Company, Ltd.

Patina is usually a green film formed naturally on copper and bronze by age or long exposure or use, or artificially (as by acids) and often valued aesthetically for its beautiful color. Although patinas occur naturally over time and with nature, the process of oxidation can be sped up through different techniques.
The application of various chemicals to metals as well as some heat processes can create some of the beautiful colors you see in this body of work. The effect of patination of metals such as brass and copper can vary greatly. Colors may range from greens and blues, to brown, reds and golds. The unpredictable nature of this process is what entices the artist to create them. No two colors are ever identical! Only the most alluring colors are picked for the jewelry pieces. They are then “cold connected” by riveting the brass and copper pieces onto sterling silver.
To care for your Copper Etched Tables... Never use copper or brass cleaner as this table has a patinated finish and has been waxed. Little care will be needed to maintain this finish, every so often a fine steel wool will work to brighten it up.
