ZA Restoration

I have used Zhanna for two projects, one was a picture from the 1800’s which was ripped and torn with pieces missing. She repaired it so you can barely see the repair and you have to really look for it to see it! She also reframed the same picture. The second was a picture with water damage from the 30’s she also did a wonderful job on that one too! I highly recommend her for any repair work on older pictures and frames. If your looking for someone who does quick work she is not it, she takes her time but its very much worth the wait… also her prices are very very reasonable.
You will not be disappointed.

I bought an old painting on the antique fair-​absolutely loved it, even though it was seriously damaged — holes, scratches, discoloration. Frame was cracked in many places, extremely dirty and dusty. Still loved it enough to bring home.
I did realize –it needs a great restoration.
My friend recommended ZA Restoration company.
Zhanna carefully analyzed the painting-​was great to hear professional opinion, gave me a quote, I agreed and left the painting.
A week later I came to pick it up. I still can not get over the transformation! I wish I can place before-​and-​after pictures.
Can’t find any signs of damaged on the front canvas and frame, and a very tiny trace in the back canvas. No wonder it looks good — they only use top quality European products, not to mention that they have special education and many years of experience in restoration museum exibits items (paintings, dolls, ceramics, glass and more).Since that I bought two more beautiful very old, but damaged paintings-​they in a process of restoration now.
Will keep you posted, but I’m sure it’ll come out great.
Regardless, how quickly the world changes, and everything becomes IKEA,
we still need professional masters, who save our past, whether it’s a masterpiece or sentimental memory.

I have used this artisan for repairs to ceramic pieces over the course of many years. They do such excellent work — you cannot tell there was ever a chip or a crack. I highly recommend them. It takes a while, so not to worry. They will call you when your piece is ready for pick up and you’ll be amazed. They are located in the outer sunset area of the city.

China, Hummels, Vases, anything of value… Flawlessly Repaired Collectables.
It is a rather a surreal experience as you go down Pier 33, pass all of the fish mongers, you come to a non-​discript door on the right side. Ring the bell and you are ushered in a small dingy office. You’ll ask yourself…“What have I gotten myself into???” But believe me… You’ll be pleased.
Jane, or as I call, «The Russians» will politely and professionally talk with you about the broken item. I have taken them several things in the, items worth more than $ 5,000 or a vase of someones great grandmother… Each time… Incredible! You could NOT see the repairs.
It can take some time to get it right (3 ro 4 weeks)…but I feel they are reasonable in price and extremely friendly to work with… AAA+++
