Repoussé silver is a decorative metalworking technique where designs are created in relief by hammering the reverse side of a malleable silver sheet. This ancient art form, used since antiquity, allows artisans to craft intricate patterns, figures, or motifs without removing any metal.
Popular in jewellery, tableware, and art objects, repoussé highlights the silversmith's skill in combining artistry with craftsmanship. Its unique texture and depth make repoussé silver a timeless and cherished method of metal decoration.
