Xene Gallery stands out for one clear reason: its Persian fine art metal works are made entirely by hand, using traditional methods passed down through five generations. Based in London, the atelier focuses on sculptures and statues forged without casting, without machinery, and without compromise—so every curve, fold, and surface carries the maker’s touch.
A 100+ Year Persian Lineage Behind Every Piece
Xene Gallery began in the United Kingdom with a family from Persia whose metal handwork practice stretches back more than a century. Today, that lineage remains central to how the studio works: tools are inherited, techniques are taught at the bench, and even a new apprentice may spend years learning to draw and refine a single curve in copper before producing a finished work.
No Casting, No Shortcuts—Only Skilled Bench Craft
When you commission from Xene Gallery, you’re commissioning a method. The studio does not cast and does not stamp, and it explicitly avoids modern shortcuts like CNC, laser, or 3D printing. Instead, the atelier coaxes every detail—petal, feather, and fabric fold—from sheet metal by hand. The result is metal art that feels deliberate and personal, not industrial.
Materials and Scale: Gold, Silver, Copper, Steel
Xene Gallery works across gold, silver, copper, and steel, shaping each metal into Persian-inspired forms and architectural motifs. The atelier’s featured works reflect both character and ambition, including designs that can reach large, installation-scale proportions—up to three metres—while still keeping the same handcrafted approach from start to finish.
Commissioned for Collectors in London
Beyond individual sculptures, Xene Gallery supports bespoke commissions, bringing Persian heritage into contemporary spaces. Each piece is signed, numbered, and accompanied by a hand-bound certificate of authenticity that traces the materials and the makers—an important reassurance for collectors who want provenance as much as artistry. You can explore the collection and commission process directly on Xene Gallery’s website.
Why This Atelier Feels Different
Many workshops can claim tradition, but Xene Gallery’s difference is consistency: the family’s “chain of hands” approach keeps craftsmanship close to its source. With 10,000+ hours per masterwork and long timelines typical of hand forging, the studio prioritizes patience over speed—so the final piece reads as a true work of fine art.
In short, Xene Gallery delivers what its name promises: handmade Persian metal art from a London atelier where skill, time, and heritage are built into every object, and you can feel the family craft in the final metalwork.
