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.

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.

I had a curio cabinet and end table refinished by Luciano.  I was shocked at the results of the work.  Absolutely beautiful and 100 percent satisfied not to mention the fact that he kept me updated on the progress.  He even drove over to show the piece to me partially completed.  His work is impeccable and prices very fair.

Thank you so much for restoring my 100 year old tea cart. We were overwhelmed with the care you took in restoring our heirloom. Your personal attention to detail gives us the confidence to not only call you again,but to recommend you to family and friends.

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.

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!!

Their work is impeccable.  And the staff is friendly and accommodating.  Such excellent workmanship with a caring staff that makes you feel like family.  I would give them the highest recommendation possible if you are looking for someone to care about your treasured pieces.

I highly recommend Luciano at the Guilder.  He restored my French Refractory dining table to its original beauty.  Also fixed another restorers mess.  He is on-time with delivery and I will add very honest.  A pleasure to know. Thank you Luciano
