​Scalloped Range Hood

Modern interior design favors straight lines over wavy lines. That is why we can find so many interior layouts with geometric, even-shaped furnishing and appliances. According to many homeowners, curves naturally bring some kind of disruption but this is what makes furniture with scallops so unique. In the history of kitchen designs, the  scalloped range hood was very popular in the mid of the XX century and nowadays it is a very popular option for vintage kitchen aficionados. Copper, zinc, or brass range hoods with characteristic rounded waves at the bottom of the hood work incredibly well in farmhouse-inspired rooms as well as French Provence and Mediterranean ambiances. 

The scallop design is making an impressive comeback in architecture and furniture design. Many of you are probably asking yourself what a scallop is. It is ornamentation derived from the shape of the scallop shell, consisting of a repeated series of arcs that can have a strong or subtle wave to it. For decades the scalloped appliances just like a scalloped  copper vent hood were associated with 50ties and 60ties old-fashioned ideas but in the last ten years, the scallop designs come again as an Haute new trend in fashion and interior décor because designers and homeowners find it a timeless, charming, and sweet addition. Recently we can find scallop-shaped kitchen counters, scalloped-edging in sofas, cushions, and of course, curtains. These textile elements turn your bedroom or living room into an eclectic and luxurious space. For the kitchens, you can find wonderful scalloped tiles that will match our scalloped range hoods in any metal you wish, ranging from copper, and iron to brass and zinc. If you are looking for an antique feel in your kitchen, we would recommend you, especially the copper and brass extractor. Their shiny hue will add warmth and coziness to the “good old days”. 

Our  hand-hammered range hoods can be customized in shape, size, and patina finishing. If you find a design that is drawing your attention, we can always add decorative elements that will highlight the unique style of your kitchen. Scallop design is one of those options but not the only one. You can have a custom-made range hood with vertical or horizontal straps made with the same or different metal; we can add rivets or relief designs on the hood. If you are looking for a one-of-a-kind appliance, Rustica House is the best option.
