Our Story
From a small bench in Manhattan to one of America’s most trusted restoration studios.
Olek Lejbzon arrived in New York in 1950 with a chest of European tools and a singular conviction — that the finest objects deserve patient hands. From that first workshop on the Upper West Side, our studio grew into a multi-disciplinary atelier serving designers, architects, landmark properties, and discerning homes.
Today our team brings together cabinetmakers, gilders, finishers, conservators, upholsterers and metalworkers under one roof. Every project — whether a single chair or an entire hotel lobby — is approached with the same attention to detail that has defined our name for three generations.
What We Stand For
01
Craftsmanship First
Every piece passes through trained hands that have spent decades mastering a single discipline. There are no shortcuts in our shop.
02
Honesty & Stewardship
We recommend only what each piece truly needs — preserving original character whenever possible and replacing only what cannot be saved.
03
Built to Outlast Us
Our 50‑year warranty is more than a promise. It is the standard we hold ourselves to on every piece that leaves our doors.
