I contacted Fine Art Restoration and sent the dog there, hoping to have it repaired. I didn’t think it could happen. I was stunned when I received the piece back. I can’t thank them enough.

Ryan Imondi: Fine Art Restoration provides great work with a quick turnaround and fairly reasonable prices. A wooden mask I own that was quite old had been dropped and had a sizable crack down the middle. Henri did a good job of putting the mask together so it holds its integrity while showing minimal exterior damage. This was the only piece I took there, but it looks like knowledge and skills are pretty broad for many different art repairs.

Michael: piece that has been in our living room for over 10 years. After doing some online research I contacted Henri at Fine Art Restoration. He sounded quite confident that he could make the repairs. I carefully took the piece to his studio and he discussed in some detail just how he proposed to restore the piece. Henri is an interesting fellow, and I very much enjoyed seeing his studio and talking to him about his work. While there I had a chance to look at some of the other projects he was working on for other clients. He does some amazing work on pieces of all makes of materials. His ability to mate and fix the broken pieces is one thing. But the most amazing part of his work is his ability to match color and finish on any material. Now there is the art. It took some weeks for him to complete this job, but I was happy to wait for what turned out to be a perfect restoration. As it turned out I had a smaller stone piece that required his expertise. Once again, he did a great job. Henri’s work is not cheap. However if you have a piece that you love and it looks like there is no way anyone could ever fix it, take it to Henri. Chances are he can do it, and it will look like new.

Jorge Schneider: Fantastic craftsmanship, honest, reliable

Miriam Schulman: I had a small, vintage, Beatrice Wood vase with a shattered lip. The broken section was in several pieces, and the glaze was mottled blue and silver iridescent, making it very difficult to reproduce; so I had little faith that anyone would be able to make it look whole and new again. But I sent the vase and the shards from the lip, to Henri Laborde. I checked in with Henri by e-mail several times, and he always responded promptly with an update. Finally, my vase arrived and it was perfect! I could hardly believe my eyes. The damaged area was invisible. The pot looked as if it had never even been broken.Henri is a master craftsman, and apparently, a little bit of a magician as well. I recommend him very highly.
