About:

The history of iron is indeed a fascinating and amazing story of creativity and innovation.

On the one hand iron has been used by man over the centuries as a means of developing articles for everyday use, or for more specialized use. These specialized uses have been as diverse as warfare and sacred objects of art.

Over the centuries the production of iron and its varied utilisation can be linked directly to the development of art and craft. Iron has long been seen as a medium that allows artists a wide degree of freedom of expression. Its durability and ruggedness has ensured that many antique relics produced hundreds if not thousands of years ago, are still around in museums and galleries for all to enjoy and admire.

We can also boast that we have been entrusted with the works for Malta’s leading Hotels and Establishments such as Kempinski San Lawrenz Leisure Resort, Mgarr Hotel, Riviera Resort, Hilton Hotel, Portomaso Project, Oracle Casino and New Dolmen Hotel, Savoy Gardens amongst others.

The workshops of Vassallo & Xuereb Ltd were launched in January 1973 as a center of excellence in metalcraft. Over the years, the company has undertaken thousands of assignments and commissions, earning itself a reputation for quality and style. It has created a broad range of products made out of iron for the decoration and interiors of buildings as well as a range of products for exterior use. This impressively large range of objects are developed in different styles that include both the more traditional and the modern approaches to metalworks.
