There are very few coppersmiths making mailboxes these days. Custom mailboxes are not a usual item that comes to mind for gift-giving or as a "must have" home improvement. Yet, throughout the years I continue to be blessed with the opportunities to design and create my copper mailboxes for folks that were looking for exactly those sort of things. My mailboxes grace urban mansions and quiet country homes. They are ordered by home designers and friends, CEOs and local businesses. Some designs are a little crazy. Some designs are very stately. Each creation is as much about who it is for as it is where it will used.
On the internet and in big box stores, you are very likely looking at mass-produced, imported reproductions. I'm not knocking these. However, my copper pieces have little in common with them. Each of my creations are unique. Each comes from someone's ideas, thoughts, reflections and intentions.
