Copper Verdigris - Kit Copper

Copper Verdigris 

Create walls that tell a story of transformation, time, and tactile beauty with Copper Verdigris, a luxurious decorative paint finish that captures the raw, elemental elegance of aged copper. Drawing inspiration from naturally oxidised copper plates, this artisan finish replicates the authentic weathering process that produces the signature green pigment known as verdigris.

The result is a beautifully exposed, weather-worn aesthetic: textured, rich in tonal depth, and full of character. This verdigris finish is perfect for bringing an urban, industrial sensibility into modern interiors while still embracing timeless, artisan elements. Whether you're looking to design a striking feature wall, enhance architectural details, or add visual intrigue to retail or hospitality spaces, Copper Verdigris delivers a tactile surface that invites touch as much as attention.

With just a few coats, you can evoke the feeling of ancient architecture or industrial elegance, all with the convenience of a complete kit that transforms standard walls into high-impact design statements.

What is Verdigris?

Verdigris is the distinctive green-blue patina that forms naturally on copper, brass, or bronze as it oxidises and is exposed to the air. This elegant ageing form has been celebrated for centuries, from classical statues and historic rooftops to modern urban interiors.

The distinctive green patina of verdigris is the result of a natural chemical reaction between copper and atmospheric elements, most notably acetic acid, which accelerates the oxidation process. Historically, artisans would even apply vinegar (a source of acetic acid) to copper plates to intentionally trigger this transformation, creating the iconic verdigris surface prized for its artistic and architectural beauty.

In art and design, verdigris represents character, time, and transformation. By bringing this effect of green pigment indoors, Copper Verdigris gives walls a story to tell, a weathered and exposed aesthetic of copper plates that feels both industrial and timeless.
