While MAS Metalworks specializes in chrome electroplating, we appreciate the enduring legacy of this traditional technique.

At first glance, the warm copper plating draws the eye to the meticulous details of these ceremonial handicrafts. But looking closer reveals how the metalwork honors the cultural roots of each piece.
The plating is applied with care to enhance the engraved designs and delicate carvings, many holding generations of ritual significance. This finishing provides durability without overpowering the natural materials and human touches.
On these sacred artifacts, the copper accentuates while also protecting vulnerable surfaces from weathering. It fortifies natural fibers and etched symbols without compromising their origins.
The result is a respectful blending of tradition and innovation. The plating strengthens each handicraft to preserve its ceremonial purpose without disrupting its spirit.

The warm copper finishing captures the eye with its subtle glow. But looking closer, you see the plating applied judiciously to enhance the handicrafts’ natural beauty.
On the woven basket, copper accents the detailed patterns, adding sheen to the artisanal fibers. On the carved wood bowl, it picks out engraved designs, protecting the tender grain beneath.
The plating provides durability without overpowering the human touches – the irregular weaving, the graceful curves. It fortifies the crafts’ vulnerable surfaces from weathering’s toll.
Yet the copper does not betray the heritage of the pieces. It complements them. The plating allows the traditional origins and handmade qualities to shine as brightly as the finish itself.

This shows technical mastery with nuance and restraint. By honoring the soul of the craftspeople, the copper finish becomes a vessel for culture – conveying Bali’s rich history with a delicate, fortifying touch.
