Nationwide Shipping for Statues, Figurines and Sentimental Pieces
Not every repair needs a house call. If what you have is small enough to carry, a marble statue, a figurine, a bust, a lamp or clock base, a small dish or keepsake, you can send it to us from anywhere in the country. We restore it and ship it back. No site visit, no travel charge, and no waiting for us to be in your area.
This is some of the work we care about most, because these pieces usually matter to someone. A figurine a grandparent brought over, a statue that broke in a move, a marble base that cracked when a clock tipped over. The value is not in the stone, it is in keeping the thing itself.
What we take by mail or drop-off
- Statues, busts, and small sculptures, split or broken into pieces
- Figurines with chipped or snapped-off parts
- Marble lamp bases, and the marble bases on bronze clocks
- Small antiques and collectibles
- Sentimental and heirloom pieces of almost any kind
How we restore a broken piece
Every item is a little different, but the steps are usually these:
- Cleaning. We clean gently with neutral products. On a true antique we keep the age and patina, the goal is not to make it look brand new
- Bonding. Split parts are glued back with a knife-grade epoxy, strong and barely visible in the joint
- Rodding. A weak neck or base gets a hidden rod set into a drilled channel, so it does not break again at the same spot
- Rebuilding. Missing chips, fingers, or corners are built back up with epoxy and color-matched with pigment to the stone
- Finishing. We blend and finish the repair so it reads as part of the original
How it works
- Email a few photos and a short description of the damage to info@marblerestoration.us
- We tell you what can be done and roughly what it will cost
- You pack and ship the piece, or drop it off if you are nearby
- We restore it and send it back, or you pick it up
We are based in Brooklyn, NY, and take in shippable pieces from across the country. For larger fixed work, fireplaces, floors, counters, we serve New York City and the surrounding areas. See all areas we serve, or our antique and collectible restoration gallery for examples of this kind of repair.
