The Trefler Family Tradition:

When my husband's grandfather, Abraham Trefler, started a business building and repairing furniture in Germany in 1921, he never could have imagined the Trefler & Sons of today.

Abraham's son, Eric, was one of the few fortunate survivors of the camps of Poland and Germany. In 1948, he left Europe for New York and then Boston. Here, after working as a furniture restorer for antique dealers on Beacon Street, he built on the expertise learned from Abraham, and soon became renowned for his uncanny ability to restore almost any type of art object. Eric developed his own secret formulas and techniques for the invisible restoration of porcelain and ceramics.

I am proud that Trefler & Sons has grown into an international institution with perhaps the world's finest private conservation staff. We hope to have the opportunity to give you an estimate for repairing your favorite objects.
