Master Goldsmith & Medal-Making Atelier
Sanctuary of Craft
In Stanisław Łukaszewicz's atelier, time moves differently. It is measured by the steady rhythm of the chasing hammer, the hiss of the torch and the focused, unhurried work of the engraving burin.
Every form is created in respect of centuries-old tradition — hand-chasing and finishing remain the heart of each work. Where modern tools serve precision, the master decides when and how to employ them. The result is always the work of human hands and eyes.
Gold, silver and bronze demand respect here — and they receive it. Every commission, regardless of scale, passes through the same stages: sketch, model, casting and hand-finishing.
Aniela i Stanislaw Lukaszewicz
Master Goldsmith
A craftsman in the deepest sense of the word — uniting the precision of a goldsmith, the patience of a conservator, the sensibility of a medallist and the eye of an artist.
A goldsmith by training, a craftsman by vocation. He built his workshop from the 1980s onwards, when — seconded from a goldsmith's studio in Bydgoszcz — he opened a small service workshop in Sępólno Krajeńskie. Together with his wife Aniela, he transformed it into an atelier that quickly grew far beyond the bounds of a provincial workshop.
He established a reputation as someone who could repair and create anything — from delicate jewellery and devotional church objects and official awards to silver architectural scale models.
In the late 1990s he began specialising in commemorative medals and insignia. Each piece began with a pencil sketch — through sculpting and cutting of models and the casting process, right through to the final finishing in metal.
A turning point came with his long-standing collaboration with shooting guilds from across Poland. In parallel, work on church devotional objects led him to ever more prestigious commissions — the restoration of liturgical objects dating from the 17th and 18th centuries.
Today the atelier fulfils commissions for hierarchs of the Catholic Church,
European noble houses and state institutions.
Stanisław Łukaszewicz personally oversees every commission — from the first sketch
to the final polish.
Catalogue of Craft
Every work leaving this atelier is a unique form — shaped with respect for classical metalworking techniques, for those who understand the difference between an object made and an object created.
The atelier designs and strikes corporate and commemorative decorations with hard enamel and sharp relief. Every decoration is preceded by a detailed technical drawing and consultation with the client.
For over three decades the atelier has been one of the most respected makers of guild insignia in Poland. It recreates historical chain collars, judicial chains, silver roosters and guild jewels.
Monstrances, reliquaries, chalices, pectorals and episcopal rings — the atelier creates and restores liturgical objects requiring goldsmith precision and a thorough knowledge of historical techniques.
Substantial armorial signet rings, seal matrices and family emblems are created using the rare art of glyptics in precious and semi-precious stones.

Tradition is not decoration. It is a method of working, a responsibility and an obligation towards those for whom an object holds meaning.

HeritageProcess
Conversation, analysis of symbolism, the object's purpose, the client's history and the intended meaning of the work.
The form is born on paper, then in a model — preserving proportion, relief and the character of the material.
Casting, working, chasing, engraving, refining edges, details and surfaces.
Last corrections, patination, polishing and quality control — before the object leaves the atelier.
Begin the Dialogue
Every commission begins with a conversation.
We learn the history, intention and character of the project,
in order to create a form of unique, timeless expression.
