The Forge Behind The Vault

Metal With a Past Life

Every sculpture starts as salvaged automotive and industrial steel — cut, shaped, and welded by hand into something no factory could repeat.

  • Hand-Welded Steel
  • Recycled & Reclaimed
  • Numbered Editions

About Vault 88

Where overlooked steel becomes art worth keeping.

Vault 88 curates and delivers handcrafted recycled-metal sculpture — pieces built by master welders from reclaimed car, motorcycle, and moped parts. No molds. No castings. Every figure, skull, and table is welded by hand, which means no two pieces on this site are alike, and some exist only once.

The East Coast home of world-class metal art

We work directly with the master artist family behind some of the most collected recycled-metal sculpture in the world — work that stands in premier galleries, luxury resorts, and private collections across the globe. Same artists, same standards, delivered and supported from our side of the country.

What we stand behind

Every piece ships fully insured, larger works travel in custom-built wood crates with scheduled delivery, and everything we sell carries a 30-day guarantee. If a sculpture arrives and it isn't what you hoped, we make it right.

Drops, editions, and one-of-a-kinds

Because this art is handmade from salvaged material, inventory works differently here. Numbered editions — like our bull skull series — are photographed individually: the exact piece you see is the piece you receive, and when it sells, it's gone. Follow a drop, claim a piece, and own something nobody else ever will.
