I have now had two pieces of antique furniture (family heirlooms) lovingly and professionally restored by Fabio. His work is truly outstanding and his commitment to the project and standards of perfection are unparalleled. I rarely leave reviews but my satisfaction with the projects Fabio has completed for me demanded that I comment. I thought my father’s chair was beyond repair but thanks to Fabio it now has a place in my livingroom and will be passed along to my grandchildren. If I could give him 10 stars I would!

This was such a rare and pleasurable experience, I am wishing I had more furniture that required his expertise. H... read more

Fabio Lepre repaired And restored an antique game table and chair. He used all historically correct glues and materials to bring my furniture back to life. After his work, the patina of the antique wood is now gorgeous and the table and chair are each solid.

I had the pleasure of meeting with Fabio. He is very personable, honest and knowledgeable. He looked at our pieces and gave very helpful information about the steps to repair/ restore the pieces, the cost and pros and cons of the different approaches. I had heard great things about him but honestly he is one of the most genuine and professional people I’ve met.
