Wall art in 925 sterling silver — 10 designs with niello decoration

A wall hanging crafted from 925 sterling silver brings a dimension to the wall that no print can achieve: the interplay of light, metal, and depth. Our collection comprises 10 wall hangings with niello decoration —dark ornaments permanently fired into the silver. Each piece is handcrafted in the SevChern manufactory in over 15 steps—a decorative object and a valuable investment in one.

What makes Niello so special in silver?

Niello is a dark alloy of silver, copper, and lead that is inlaid into engraved ornaments and fired at high temperatures. The result: a permanent contrast between bright silver and deep, dark decorations that neither washes off nor fades. The technique is rarely practiced in Europe anymore. At SevChern, each mural undergoes over 15 steps —from casting and engraving to the final polish.

Motifs and variations

The collection features 10 wall murals with various motifs — from classic ornaments to figurative representations. Each piece works well both individually and as part of a wall composition.

• Ornamental motifs — Floral and geometric patterns that particularly emphasize the interplay of light between silver and niello.
• Figurative representations — scenes and figures with fine details that gain special plasticity in niello engraving.
• Various formats — From compact wall objects to representative formats for larger wall surfaces

Who are silver wall murals suitable for?

Care and handling

Sterling silver wall art is easy to care for. Remove dust with a soft, dry cloth. If tarnished, a silver polishing cloth is sufficient—avoid the niello areas, as they should retain their dark character. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
