In a world of mass production and machine-made monotony, Xene Gallery shines as a rare gem—reviving and preserving the ancient, labor-intensive art of handcrafted metal sculpture. Rooted in over 100 years of Persian artistic heritage and now headquartered in London, Xene Gallery is poised to redefine modern perceptions of fine art through one of the oldest known crafts: the pure, patient, and poetic transformation of metal by hand.
From bespoke sculptures shimmering in gold and silver to grand installations forged from copper and steel, Xene Gallery’s offerings are not just objects—they are living legacies, passed down through generations of master artisans. With each piece requiring hundreds to tens of thousands of hours of work, Xene’s creations are a testament to human dedication, patience, and skill.
Honoring a Timeless Tradition: Handmade Metal Sculptures with a Soul
Xene Gallery’s story began over a century ago in Persia, where the founding family cultivated a reputation for metal mastery that went beyond utility—it was art. Today, that tradition endures. Every single sculpture presented by Xene is entirely handmade. No casting, no automated shaping, and absolutely no shortcuts.
Using time-honored techniques such as hammering, engraving, and polishing by hand, artisans transform raw sheets of metal into breathtaking works of art. From delicate tabletop forms to towering installations reaching three meters in height, these pieces pulse with the authenticity of craftsmanship long forgotten in most corners of the art world.
“We don’t just make sculptures—we carry forward a craft that’s centuries old, honoring our ancestors and sharing that cultural heritage with the world,” said Xene Gallery. “Each stroke of the hammer is a story, a prayer, and a promise of timeless beauty.”
Where Metal Becomes Emotion: Materials and Meaning
Xene Gallery’s work blends traditional metals with contemporary vision. Sculptures are created using solid gold, sterling silver, copper, and industrial-grade steel, often in layered or hybrid combinations. The selection of material is never incidental—it’s a fundamental part of each sculpture’s story.
- Gold, representing divinity, prestige, and eternity.
- Silver, symbolizing purity and flow.
- Copper, associated with warmth, healing, and creative energy.
- Steel, embodying strength, permanence, and boldness.
This rich material palette allows each work to convey not just beauty, but emotion and meaning. The metals age and patinate organically over time, giving each piece an evolving character—a visual record of its journey.
Bespoke Commissions: Where the Collector Becomes the Collaborator
Xene Gallery offers a highly personalized commissioning service, allowing collectors to participate in the creation of their own heirloom artworks. Options include:
- Custom dimensions (from small decorative forms to multi-meter installations)
- Choice of metal(s) and finishes
- Hand engraving (names, quotes, dates)
- Surface treatments such as silvering, gold-plating, or oxidized copper detailing
Whether designed for private homes, corporate lobbies, art foundations, or public spaces, each piece is one-of-one—never replicated, never reproduced.
Investment in Time, Spirit, and Substance
The value of a Xene sculpture is measured not just in materials, but in time and soul. Smaller works begin at approximately $1,000, while monumental installations—featuring high-purity silver or gold and crafted over several years—may reach $200,000 or more. These are not decorative trinkets—they are museum-quality pieces meant to last generations.
Global Vision: Tradition Meets Modernity
While grounded in heritage, Xene Gallery embraces the future. With its digital platform www.xenegallery.com , the gallery brings its treasures to a global audience, offering virtual tours, behind-the-scenes stories, and opportunities to connect directly with the artists.
In 2025–2026, Xene Gallery plans to expand its global footprint with a series of traveling exhibitions, cultural partnerships, and educational workshops focused on reviving and reintroducing traditional hand-metal techniques to emerging artists.
