RENAISSANCE-EURO STYLE MAILBOX

Made for David, in Sarasota.
He asked for a mailbox to compliment his Renaisance-style home.

CUSTOM RENAISSANCE MAILBOX

A Secret Copper Shop Original
Sarasota, Florida USA

This mailbox is mounted on stucco, and opens in an unusual fashion.  

I designed the curves of this mailbox to follow the wooden moldings on David's home.
The numbers are brass, and they will remain shiny for years as the copper tarnishes to an beutiful aged-patina
It certainly has a distinct European style.

Making a mailbox is a special experience for me. Most boxes require over 6 feet of soldered joints, and I usually use copper sheet, rod, and tube on each. All hinges are hand made here at the shop. Most mailboxes are completely copper, and some get brass washers hidden in the hinge for strength.

A shiny new copper mailbox will be dark brown in about three months. After a year - it will be nearly black. It will probably will be green verdigris in two years.
Color change depends on weather, and rain accelerates the change.
