Words cannot describe how impressed I am with the artistry and restoration capabilities of this firm. When one of my beloved Italian lamps - from a matching pair purchased on my honeymoon - was knocked off a table I was devastated. The piece broke in such a way that approx. 1/2 remained intact, approx. 1/4 broke into 3 larger shards, and the other 1/4 was obliterated into dust. In my wildest dreams I never could have imagined the lamp could be restored. When I first brought the piece to the studio I expected it to be turned away as a lost cause, but a few months later I am thrilled to report that I received a perfectly restored lamp. There is not even the slightest trace of any damage, the intricate artwork has been faithfully recreated and the sheen of the glaze is as perfect as the day I purchased it. I can't even tell the difference between the 2 lamps now, and that is an incredible feat given that I am an architect with a keen eye for detail. I am forever grateful to these truly talented artists. THANK YOU, THANK YOU,...

The plates are decorated with PA Dutch folk art along with names and dates of the events. Both plates were badly damaged, broken and poorly repaired with glue.

They both look fully restored along with proper coloration and glazing. When I took the plates for an initial estimate, I was given honest and complete information on cost and timing. The result is exceeded my expectations. I am so happy to have these two family heirloom pieces. They...
Read moreIf you are looking to have something that is broken that is valuable to you, whether it be in price or semintality....look no further! I was given a very cherished Chinese porcelain doll that was purchased in China for a milestone birthday. I knew it was very special to me, but was also told by Mark at A. Ludwig Klein & Co. that it was a work of art, as well! Mark, who is a MASTER at his craft, replaced the very delicate pieces I did have and refabricated the parts that were missing. He made it look like the day I received it. I am in awe at Mark's expertise, superiority, and skill at his craft and am thrilled that I chose A. Ludwig Klein & Co. to repair my...
