Jane is a miracle worker. What every other framer in the city wanted $$$$ for, Jane did it fast and for a lot less. She restored a vintage frame (about 100 + years old) and now I can hang it without worrying it will fall apart! Lovely person to work with, plus she's got the cutest pup ever in her studio! (bonus!) Communicative, fast, quality work. I will definitely keep Jane in my contacts for future projects. read more

I was able to get back in touch with Jane Henry. They were able to successfully repair my antique desk and did beautiful work! I highly recommend this business for antique repair. read more

Expensive very polite and quick responses. I just couldn't afford her services Nice website. read more

I sent pics of a piece that needed restoration; I was told this was something that she could do. She asked for a video, which I provided. Several days later I contacted her and she said she had received the video but had not reviewed it. That was months ago and I never heard back from her. Talk about communication! If there was a reason for refusing to restore my piece, why not tell me instead of ghosting me?? Got my hopes up and wasted my time--not professional! read more

Jane Henry studios did an excellent job repairing three vintage chairs. They were very efficient picking up and did the job in just a few days. Throughout she was incredibly thoughtful and responsive. read more

Jane and her team are consummate professionals. Highly recommend. They restored an antique figurine that had been in our family for a long time with such precision and care. It had broken in a move and Jane made it look better than it ever had! It was so worth the money to do it. Thank you! read more

I found a beautiful MCM sofa frame that looked like it was left out in the rain. It was awful, sad but it was a sturdy well made piece. I wanted to give it a new life in a new home and contacted Jane Henry based on her reviews. I emailed her images and communicated by phone and email to which she was very responsive. I just received the piece today and it looks beautiful! I already have several new projects I would love for to restore. read more

We needed repair and restoration work on a set of 50+ year old dining chairs. I wrote up a service request on a Summer Sunday afternoon - and was amazed to hear back from Jane before dinner. Jane was very helpful and prompt in responses as we discovered what work needed to be done. Jane's personal involvement, breadth of experience and talent were/are impressive. We would recommend Jane's services to our family and friends. read more

I had the delight of engaging Jane to finish a treasured wood Thonet chair that had seen a fair amount of torture in its 70+ year life. I reached out to her half thinking she wouldn't want to take on such a small job, but she invited me and my chair to her studio straight away. As I waited for her to step away from a piece she was working on, a survey of the space revealed at least two centuries plus worth of exceptional furniture in all states of repair, but each an exclamation point along a long continuum of exceptional design. I took away that anyone who trusted Jane with any one of these pieces must know something of her skill set. I'd just had a several-month odyssey of my own identifying a source for rehabbing a Knoll Wassily chair with new strapping and the learned re-assembly of same, so I have an infinite amount of respect for those who can coax new life into something of great value. Jane immediately provided me the confidence she knew how much work my chair needed--and what it didn't need. Like many functional, well-made objects of similar vintage, this thing had been loved, used, and in no way did I need it to look like it had the factory finish of its day--which was often for institutional or commercial use. We agreed to a price, and I told Jane she could have as much time as she needed to do the work, and departed. Some three weeks later, I got a message from Jane while traveling the chair was finished. When I was reunited with it, I was overjoyed to see it finished with less gloss and perhaps waxy buildup I usually see in chairs its same vintage. What resulted was warmly and richly re-stained with hand-rubbed satin glow that still makes me stare at it with quiet content. I would not hesitate to recommend Jane Henry to bring life back to anything you treasure. She's who and what anyone would want in a refinisher or re-imaginer of something beautiful: patient and thoughtful consideration for how an object was produced and how it needs to serve its owner again. Jane is that rarest of people left in Manhattan: An artisan willing to hang on to what is surely a ridiculously-priced space to be able to work close to home and be accessible to an audience who needs and deserves this kind of work. I've watched others give this place up for lower-cost pastures; when that happens, everyone loses. Just call her already. read more

I am not a troll. I have had several experiences with you. And everything I have written is accurate. Once again, describing you professionally, I find you totally unaccountable. read more

I had an antique Chinese marble chair with a damaged wooden arm rest. Jane Henry Studios repaired the arm rest as good as new while preserving the chair's authenticity. The price was reasonable, and the work was done within a week. I highly recommend Jane Henry Studios. read more

She was very prompt in responding and naming a price, but I found her too expensive. Unfortunately I am not able to have the furniture refurbished at this time. read more

I can't speak highly enough about Jane! I had emailed her asking if I could have 6 dining room chairs redone and she responded right away and gave me a quote of 3 weeks to completion. Not only did they come out exactly as I had asked but I got them sooner than anticipated. Jane is a complete professional and is a highly skilled craftswoman. Extremely friendly. And I would recommend her to anyone. read more

My sister found Jane Henry for me after a family treasured painting was severely damaged by someone working at me house. A 15" tear horizontally and another 12" tear vertically. I thought it was destroyed. By some miracle she was able to restore this 19th century painting seamlessly. She then cleaned off a century and a half of grime and it came to beautiful life. Thank you Jane. The painting means the world to me. I couldn't be more grateful. You are the best! read more

When our house-sitter accidentally spilled water all over our dresser, which I inherited from my grandmother... we needed to find someone to get rid of the big water stain on the top of the dresser, as well as the dribbling water stain all the way down the front of it. We found Jane through Yelp and are so glad we did! The person she sent to do the work was courteous and meticulous, and the dresser now looks wonderful. Plus, Jane was super-easy to communicate with. The whole process was a pleasure. (One heads up: The smell is REALLY powerful, so you might either want to pay to have them transfer your furniture to their studio -- an option I declined -- or at least move the furniture in question to a room you don't sleep in, and plan to have windows open and fans going.) read more

How often does someone really need to repair or refinish a piece of furniture? Once? Twice? Never? I own a nice coffee table from the 1970's that needed some love after my toddler took to it like a jungle gym. I searched for some refinishing and repair companies, and came across Jane's studio. My coffee table extends to twice its size, and has a ton of screws to keep it all together. It was also missing two legs and a third had broken off. Jane gave me a quote, and I opted for the repair service only, since my toddler is still a toddler, so the refinishing will happen later. Jane told me that new legs may not match perfectly, but to be honest, they really look like they've always been there. Pricing was incredibly fair, and the final price ended up being lower than the estimate. I plan to have Jane refinish the table when my toddler is perhaps not as interested in it. Pick up & drop off was very easy. Jane's studio shares a fairly busy parking lot, but there's a ramp leading up to the elevator where Jane can meet you. I'd recommend her studio to anyone with lots of furniture to repair, or the once-in-a-lifetime fix. read more

Jane has done such great work for me. The plaster piece looks whole again. The quality work that she does is going to cost, but at least her rates were so much more reasonable than competitors. I went to another place called Ark That would've charged over $1000 more for this job. read more

I was literally devastated when my MCM sofa frame broke during my move. All the other quotes I received involved replacing the teak wood which I was strongly against.

Wonderful lady and a true artisan. She beautifully restored my 17th century painting and everything was super smooth. I highly recommend this resource! read more

Excellent service and very helpful. I shipped in an antique chinese cabinet with a hole in the side and it came back perfect.

Jane sent Stravy to refinish a built-in desk, and he did a beautiful job. The millworker who built the desk a few years ago had assured me that the finish would stand up to frequent use, but it did not. After some back and forth with Jane about the best finish to use given that I couldn't bring it to the shop, I feel very good about what she suggested and how Stravy applied it. Of course, it's a far more involved process than simply applying a coat of finish - it involved multiple layers over two days. read more

I have a beautiful lacquer bar from Asia crafted in the 1950s that has lived a great life and was definitely abused in its move back to the US. Jane worked a miracle and the results are outstanding. She was able to restore wood damage, lacquer work and painting so piece is stunning. i highly recommend her . read more

I refer all of my clients to Jane. She is a talent! Versatile and easy to work with!

I carelessly damaged our beautiful Pier 1 dresser with acetone nail polish remover, and was so upset, then thought: maybe I should actually take the time and invest in getting it fixed? I'm so glad I found Jane Henry Studios. They did an excellent, efficient job and the dresser looks like new. The price was fair, and I'm very pleased with the work. Highly recommend! read more

We had a walnut kitchen panel that had previously been "repaired" by the kitchen installers leaving a very noticeable difference in sheen. Stravy from JH Studios was able to fix the prior repair so that it was virtually invisible. Also fixed water damage to a dresser top. There really aren't that many businesses in NYC that do this kind of thing. Highly recommended for furnish repair. read more

My wooden canopy bed was damaged during a recent move. Jane was very good at getting me a quote quickly, and the numbers were very reasonable. She was able to come to my apartment for the repairs, and she was very professional and efficient. It only took 45 minutes for her to finish repairing a broken wooden canopy beam, and chip off my wooden bedpost. I am very pleased with the results. You can barely tell where the breaks were. I highly recommend using her for wooden furniture restoration, and would definitely contact her again if I need furniture repairs in the future! read more

Unfortunately she confirmed my jobs were within her expertise and asked for photos but never gave me an estimate, despite my reaching out to her several times about it. read more

I found Jane Henry online when I decided my cedar chest needed refinishing and I couldn't be happier that I found her. She was super helpful and responsive every step of the way - very knowledgable and professional. The pick up of the item was so easy and the team was great. Jane worked quickly - even over the holidays - and my cedar chest was returned to me looking better than it ever has! I couldn't recommend her more. Thank you Jane! read more

I had been trying for the last 3-4 years to find someone, through personal/professional referrals, to refinish my grandparents' antique dresser, and kept turning up with empty results for various reasons. I finally decided to look online and found Jane Henry and based on her good reviews, decided to go for it. And, I'm here to also endorse her for making this project such a quick snd easy process (2 turnaround) and the results are perfect. She really is a magician, and seamlessly erased all the years of damage from water and movers and use! Thank you Jane. read more

We decided to clean all the multiple sets of fine wine glassware in our china closet . I told my husband we should put a 10$ bet on who would break something first- we completed washing and replacing all the sets of wine glasses when as an afterthought I was placing a small cocktail shaker in the cabinet when that little torpedo slipped from my hands and crashed down onto an art glass fruit bowl on the counter- shattering it into pieces. Searched the internet, etsy, 1st dibs etc etc to find a replacement- nothing like it anywhere. Googled a bit and found Jane Henry Studios- sent pictures to Jane who responded promptly with a quote and estimated a 7-10 day turn around. Great communication setting up a drop off and pick up of the restored piece. Jane was friendly and engaging, explaining how the nature of the glass and structure presented a challenge. The repair looks great and I am out of the dog house. But I guess I did win the bet from husband. read more

My experience with Jane Henry Studios was extremely positive. I would highly recommend her expert services. She worked absolute magic on our beloved leather club chair, which after 20-plus years of sun damage and general wear and tear, had faded from a gorgeous dark-purple shade to a less-than-attractive pinkish color with lots of stains and imperfections. In short order, Ms. Henry transformed our chair to its former glorious self, and then some! She was easy to work with, warm, and quick to respond. I'm in awe of her artistry. Don't hesitate to contact Jane Henry Studios if you need a precious item restored! read more

I reached out to Jane to inquire about fixing a hinge in a cabinet at my elderly mother's apartment. I had been having a very hard time, quite surprisingly, finding a contractor willing to come to my mother's apartment to fix this. Jane came over, was very courteous to my mother, and did a very meticulous job in fixing the hinge. I'm very grateful, as my mother had been wanting this fixed for a very long time. read more

Outstanding craftsmanship and a quick turnaround! I had a dining chair break in way that required expert care and found Jane Henry Studios through Yelp.

Extremely responsive, quick, helpful, and thorough! Super grateful for Jane and the whole team (including their sweet canine apprentice, Rizzo), who were all very patient and supportive with my layperson/non-expert attempts at explaining the issue with my mid-20th-century modern chair leg. We are now able to sit on our beloved chair again, and I can't thank Jane Henry Studios enough for making that happen so seamlessly! 10/10; highly recommend! read more

After a few photo exchanges of a damaged area of a table, she recommended that it be "spot fixed" to save on unnecessary shipping expenses; Jane came by our apartment after ensuring she was pandemic tested the day prior. She also fixed a few other damaged areas all in under 2hrs. We are very satisfied customers! read more

Jane did a superb job regilding my antique Japanese trunk. She also repaired a broken marble box and regilded two sconces. She is a true artist. I couldn't be more pleased with the result. read more

I am in absolute awe of the work Jane did to restore the antique sewing table my boyfriend inherited from his grandmother. The damage to the wood top was so bad, I thought it was beyond repair. Other companies quoted me astronomical prices to try to restore it. But Jane made it look like new -- and for a very reasonable price too. The entire process was seamless, and we couldn't be happier with our like-new table, restored to its original beauty. Now instead of trying to cover up the damage, we can proudly display the table in our home. I would definitely recommend Jane for even the most challenging repair work. read more

Jane re-upholstered our 6 old dining room chairs in blue velvet and they look as beautiful as they are comfortable, Jane did an amazing job, she worked fast, for a fair price and the precision, craftsmanship and love she put into our project means that she will always be our first choice for any future projects. Jane also repaired last year my Chinese wooden music table that was in pieces and brought it back to life. I trust Jane, you should too. A true artist. read more
