Определение и Значение "repousse"

What is "repoussé"?

Repoussé is a metalworking technique where a design is hammered or pushed out from the back of a metal sheet to create a raised pattern on the front. This involves using tools to shape and form the metal by working it from behind, which creates detailed, three-dimensional designs. The technique is often used for decorative items like jewelry, sculptures, and ornamental panels. Repoussé can be combined with other methods to add finer details and textures to the final piece.
