Testimonials

My table was a really mess with cat clawed legs, insect holes, wobbly top.  Luciano did a wonderful job, and I couldn't be happier.

Amazing transformation on an old tired dining room buffet table, we were ready to paint black and call it a day.   Luciano and his team has beautified this furniture with a heavy smooth dark colbalt blue lacquer Finish and it’s just stunning.

Luciano did a spectacular job refinishing a cherished Japanese antique table for us.  He brought a pathetic pice back to life!  His estimate, pick-up, and delivery were prompt.  Even though he had to do some unexpected work on the table - no extra charge!  Highly, highly recommend.  He is an artist.

I brought my grandmothers steam trunk to Luciano, owner of Gilder so see if he could refurbish it. He was very helpful and knowledgeable. We agreed on the restoration and the cost which was very fair. The results were amazing. I am extremely happy with the restoration and highly recommend Gilder. They are real craftsman!!

Excellent service and workmanship.  I had several mid-century modern pieces renovated and a rosewood chess table.

I recently wanted repair to a hutch that I took home from my mother in law after she needed to downsize.  After looking locally to find someone close to me in Trumbull, CT, I found the Gilder, Luciano Colella.  Based on previous reviews, I hired him.  What a great find.  Just a great person with a lot of talent and very honest.  Picked up the piece, restored the piece, delivered the piece.  Great job, fair prices, very responsive.  I will certainly use his services in the future.

They did a great job on our dining room table. Very friendly and performed the work in a timely fashion. Will definitely use them again!

Antique sofa in need of significant repair & reupholstering.  The folks at Gilder were prompt, responsive, and really nice to work with.  They did a magnificent job on the sofa, and I'll definitely be bringing more pieces back to them for repair & restoration.  I recommend them highly.
