Heritage Metal Exchange Program

Transform Yesterday's Metal Into
Tomorrow's Masterpiece.

Exchange your old brass or copper articles for a completely new handcrafted Pembarthy masterpiece, or request professional renovation services for cherished family heirlooms.

The Program

A Complete Artistic Recreation

Our formula is simple and transparent:

Any old, tarnished, or broken brass, bronze, or copper items

in your possession can be evaluated for their authentic metallurgical weight and purity. This exact raw value is then converted into a direct credit toward the commission of a completely new, museum-grade Pembarthy masterpiece, or utilized toward the professional restoration of your existing ancestral heirlooms.

Masterpiece Crafting

What This Program Is

  • We accept ALL forms of authentic brass, copper, and bronze, regardless of condition, shape, or age.
  • The exact weight and value of your old metal is respectfully considered during your quotation.
  • Every newly acquired piece is entirely handcrafted from scratch using traditional Pembarthy repoussé techniques.
  • We also offer professional restoration and renovation services to breathe new life into your cherished ancestral heirlooms.
Raw Metal

What This Program Is NOT

  • A simple commercial transaction; this is a bespoke commissioning process designed to preserve heritage value.
  • Unless opting for our renovation service, you will not receive the exact same old object back—you will receive a completely new masterpiece in its stead.
  • We do not use automated machinery at any stage of our reproduction or restoration processes.

Bespoke Inquiry

Private Consultation

Every exchange begins with a confidential discussion to evaluate the metal you wish to submit, and determine the design of the completely new artwork you wish to commission.

Do you offer restoration or renovation services?

Yes. While our Exchange Program focuses on creating entirely new masterpieces from your old metal, we also offer dedicated renovation and restoration services to clean, repair, and breathe new life into your cherished ancestral heirlooms without destroying their original form.

Can I exchange old brass utensils?

Yes. We accept authentic old brass utensils, plates, and vessels. Their weight and purity will be evaluated to provide a credit toward your new handcrafted commission.

Can I exchange copper items?

Yes. Old copper pots, temple vessels, and traditional household copper items are fully eligible for the Heritage Metal Exchange Program.

Will I receive the exact same item back?

Unless you are specifically utilizing our Renovation Service, no. The Exchange Program exchanges the raw value of the old metal for a completely new, from-scratch masterpiece. We do not repair or polish exchange submissions.

How is exchange value calculated?

The value is assessed based on the current market rate, weight, and metallurgical purity of your provided metal. This value is transparently credited toward the craftsmanship and material costs of your newly commissioned artwork.

Can damaged items be exchanged?

Absolutely. Broken, dented, or heavily tarnished brass and copper items are perfectly acceptable, as their primary value lies in the metal weight and purity, not their current aesthetic condition.

Can international customers participate?

Yes. Our luxury concierge routinely coordinates with international clients across the USA, UK, UAE, and beyond to facilitate the assessment and commissioning process globally.

How long does crafting take?

Because your completely new piece is entirely handcrafted using traditional Kakatiya-era techniques, a bespoke commission typically requires between 45 to 120 days, depending on the scale and intricacy of the new design.
