Stained-Glass Windows
Arte Poli works on both church renovations and newer projects. Their stained-glass windows are made using traditional techniques and the highest quality mouth blown glass.
Fresco / Paintings
Frescos and paintings made according to traditional techniques directly on the wall or on canvas, may be the best solution to create artistic decorations for your church.
Bronze Works
At Arte Poli, all kinds of bronze work is undertaken. Each piece is individually handcrafted in Italy, using the traditional technique of lost wax bronze fusion.
Wrought Iron
All types of iron work is undertaken, with each piece traditionally handcrafted in Italy. Please contact us to discuss your bronze work project.
Mosaic Work
The mosaic artworks of Arte Poli come alive through a combination of glass tesserae, smalti, natural stone and marble. These are often used for architectural features or artwork within a church.
Stone Work
From the design of Alberto Poli to the finished work, all of Arte Poli’s stone pieces are made from the highest quality Italian materials.
Customer Testimonials
The cope is... exquisite. The construction and craftsmanship are of the highest quality.
Rev'd Dixon Kinser
St Paul's Episcopal Church, Winston-Salem, N.C.
I am very pleased indeed, not least that the hang seems excellent, and the fabric and making beautiful. You are to be congratulated for such a successful revival of an ancient vestment design.

Pleased is a gross understatement! I am beyond delighted. The choir loves them and the congregation seems to be thrilled as well... a total hit! Thanks for everything!

Many blessings to you and thank you for all the amazing work that Watts has done and is doing. I have always been quite fond of the beautiful vestments you create and I have been blessed to wear many a Watts chasuble.
The Very Rev. R M Hollerith
Washington (USA)
I know there are cheaper suppliers but you get what you pay for so I think Watts are actually the best value. Because they'll last a lifetime (or longer- I've heard stories of wills ...) it's also more sustainable. The quality of the fabrics, construction and stitching are exceptional. The service is top notch.
